Happy Thoughts


Love this sentiment, from Clear and Simple Stamps Build a Flower.   Everyone needs happy thoughts and the recipient of this card could use a lift.

I needed a lot of happy thoughts during the years of taking care of my Mom and I haven't forgotten the folks who sent me (or my Mom) cards to lift our spirits.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Clear and Simple Stamps Build A Flower (sentiment) and Butterfly Garden.  Stampin Up Tape It.  
Ink:  Hero Arts Tide Pool and Stampin Up lilac marker (outlined the butterflies with the marker) and Ranger Archival Black
Cardstock:  Stampin Up Pool Party and Neenah Solar White
Other:  Gold Marker, Micron Black pen, adhesive, paper trimmer, President's Day so I had time to stamp

MOOD WHEN DONE = Floaty

Beautiful card. It would most certainly touch a recipient's heart. Love the fonts used in the sentiment.

Ohmygoodness! Floaty is the right word, isn't it? I love how the dots both ground the butterflies and give the illusion of floating. Brilliant!!!!

LOVE the gold marker accents here, Joan!

This is just fabulous. Such a soothing design and color scheme, and I like the motion in the butterflies.

Sending some happy thoughts to you, Joan! Your butterflies are beautiful with the touch of lilac outline. Love the dots and the colors, too.
