Happiness

 Hello this is another card in which I have enjoyed making and I can't help myself with the amount of colour I have used. I love colour!

I started this card by using a Shenna Douglass Happiness rubber stamp from her little bit sketchy range and stamping it onto some Neenah solar white ultra smooth card stock and coloured it with the lights and pastel sets of Spectrium Noir pens. I was really happy with the way the colour has turned out on the image as I wanted a subtle look and nothing to heavy.  Once I was happy with the topper I carefully but randomly tore around the end of the stamped image.  For the background I embossed a piece of deep blue card stock which I found in my odd paper box with my Spellbinders M-bossabilities Flora design A folder. I love the pattern on this embossing folder and in some way it seem a shame to cover it up. I though the card was a little bit dark to show up the lovely pattern so using a red and yellow pencil crayon I drew around the patterned. I was really please the way it came out. In the centre of the flower I used a drop of Cosmic shimmer pearlescent coloured pva. I then glued both the topper and backing card together  and set about distressing a piece of A4 card folded in half with Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass distressing ink. For the final embellishment I used my Tonic butterfly punch on some Neenah card and coloured it with the Spectrium Noir pens. I hope you like this card.
