Happy Thoughts

Good Morning

Sending you lots of Happy Thoughts today.  

Again, I have been going through my stash of backgrounds....that's how this card was born.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began making my card by first looking through my stash of inky backgrounds.  I found this green one that I think I had used some Distress Oxide inks to create.  That's guessing though but I think I may have used some Cracked Pistachio and some Peeled Paint??
• I placed the inked piece into the Typewriter Embossing folder and ran it through my Spellbinder machine.  
• I removed the embossed piece from the folder and sanded off the front to reveal the white of the letters.  It is a simple way to add some distressing and a lot of interest too.
• I went back into my stash, looking for another inked background that would go with the green.  I found this one that I think I had played around with trying some marbling?  I die-cut the flowers using the Brushstroke Flowers 1 and assembled them as there are a few different pieces involved.
• I mounted the flowers over the typewriter background, overlapping them a bit with pop dots.
• I stamped the sentiment strip with some black Versafine ink and pop dotted that over the flowers.
• I mounted it onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
