Happy Card







I've given up my duty as challenge picker in our SU! group and Sherri has kindly taken over the task. This week, she chose the Clean and Simple Fall To Layout sketch challenge (#94). I paired this with the Diva Coffee Break Designs color challenge (#180). I used my new Punched Posies set.

I opted for the clear set over the wood, but I now see why the wood is better for solid images. I had to sand down the large flower design to get a clean stamped image. It was very hard to do this on the clear block. It kept coming off. So, I had to hold the rubber image in my hands while sanding; not an easy task! But, for storage options, you can't beat the clear sets.

I love these colors together. They make me smile and think of happy times, being young and enjoying the summer. Oh to be a kid again, right? Anyway, thanks for looking and have a great day!
