40 Cards in 40 Days: Beautifully Happy

Beautifully Happy – Sale-a-bration

It’s Day 2 of 40 Cards in 40 Days and I’m sharing a card made with the Beautifully Happy stamp set! It’s gorgeous!  Not only is it beautiful, it’s easy to work with.  You can “color” this large floral stamped image with stamps!  This stamp set is one of Stampin’ Up!’s DistInktive stamp sets which means the stamp creates different opacities (shading) with a single stamped image.  So realistic looking!

The Beautifully Happy stamp set is a Sale-a-bration item that you can choose for free with an order of $100.  Sale-a-bration is almost over so don’t miss out on this gorgeous stamp set!  The last day of Sale-a-bration is February 28th.

I paired this stamp set with the equally gorgeous Fancy Flora Designer Paper from Stampin’ Up!’s January – April Mini Catalog.  The colors of cardstock used on the card are Fresh Freesia, which retires at the end of April, and Orchid Oasis.  Soft Succulent was used for the stamped leaves.  I inked up the stamp and then stamped it off on scrap paper before stamping it over the image.  This gave is a softer look.  Full strength was a little too dark.  Some Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots finished off the card.

This card definitely says Spring and is the perfect choice for Day 2 of my challenge as the temperature is rather cold here in Colorado.  I’d love for you to leave a comment.  Stay warm!  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
