You Make Me Happy

Another day, another Pretty Perennials Crafty Carrot Collective CASE...say that fast three times!

Cindy Schuster demonstrated a super cute card and coordinating scrapbook page over at the February 2021 Crafty Carrot Collective Birthday Collection earlier this week and I just HAD to case it.  

I swapped out the DSP, using my favorite True Love Designer Series Paper.  All things black and white are my jam!

These little Pretty Perennial blooms are just so dainty and cute!  I love how they cascade down the card. 

I am almost a little embarrassed to admit that I have two packages of the Artistry Blooms sequins that I had yet to use because I couldn't get past not using them with coordinating colors.  Thank you Cindy for helping me get out of my comfort zone and seeing that I CAN mix things up!

If you haven't checked out the Crafty Carrot Collective, head on over and subscribe.  You won't regret all of the amazing creativity!

Happy stamping!

Perennial Birthday Wishes ~ HSSCC#357

Hooray!!! It's time for an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge! This week we have a bright and beautiful Color Challenge for you to play along with.

I was thinking Valentine's Day at first with these fun colors, but quickly changed gears after spotting Pretty Perennials sitting on my desk.  There is nothing better than bright and colorful flowers to spread a little birthday cheer!

I inked up the biggest bloom in Real Red and the smaller bloom in Blushing Bride.  A fun splash of Bermuda Bay was used to ink up the little accent flowers, along with a bit of Granny Apple Green for the leaves.

I love the big HAPPY sentiment, which is so much fun to heat emboss in white on Basic Black and fussy cut!  BIRTHDAY was also heat embossed on a small strip of Basic Black as well. 

The flowers and sentiments were layered on top of my favorite Love You Always Specialty DSP.  You can never go wrong with black and white with bright, bold colors!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Basic White, Love You Always DSP

Ink ~ Real Red, Blushing Bride, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Memento, Versamark

Stamp Set ~ Pretty Perennials

Other Supplies ~ Pretty Perennials Dies, White Embossing Powder

These cheerful flowers have me long for spring even more!  Sadly, we have super low temps and snow in our forecast this week.  BOO!  I'm really hoping that it's short lived and spring is just around the corner!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you will join us over at Hand Stamped Sentiments and play along with us!

Happy Stamping!
