Literally My Joy: Friendship is a Happy Thing

Monday, February 9, 2015

I have been wanting to use the bird from A Happy Thing stamp set and nothing came to mind until I saw the sketch from Paper Craft Crew (PCCCS130).

Combined with the Sweet Dreams DSP, I was going for a bright spring day scene with the sun burst on the left side.

I used the Stampin' Spritzer with Crushed Curry ink refill (5 drops), rubbing alcohol and the sun burst spritz mask from the Hooray It's Your Day Card Kit to get the look of the sun rays shining down on the bird.

The Crushed Curry thick baker's twine is from the Hello Life Project Kit (I had left overs from when I made my kit. - Check it out here).

I also added some embossing on the card. It's sort of hidden so I provided you a closer look below. The banners under the sentiment have chevrons and arrows.

Hi Leanne, what a happy card! I love the way you've used the sunburst from the Hello Life Project Kit. It works beautifully in conjunction with that DSP. Great colours and a nice addition of texture in those banners. Thanks so much for joining us this week for the Paper Craft Crew Challenge.

I commented once but it seems to have disappeared, so here I am again, just in case. I love the sunburst and your little kookaburra. A totally fun card! TFS
