Be Happy!

I'm surrounded with new stamps, ink pads, ribbons and other Stampin' Up! goodies - that's a very good reason to Be Happy!

I made this before all my lovely new things arrived so it's a bit of a "beg, steal or borrow" card. I borrowed the stamp set, Be Happy, from my friend Sue and I begged the button from my friend Alison, The Button Queen. I stole the idea from the Stampin' Up! website - www.stampinup.com; it also features on Page 69 of the UK catalogue. Mine is slightly different because I do have a problem with copying things - I try to do them from memory and always end up going my own way...

The cardstock is Almost Amethyst, Elegant Eggplant, Real Red and Whisper White. I used Elegant Eggplant and Real Red inkpads. The 1/4" grosgrain ribbon is Real Red, as is the button. To stamp the flowers on the Almost Amethyst strip, I inked part of the stamp with my Elegant Eggplant marker. I didn't line them up - I was going for the "charmingly homemade" wonky look!
