I HAD to do another card for this week's SCS Ways To Use It Challenge (which was to find a website then make a card inspired by it). It all of a sudden hit me that I could do one inspired by THIS site (specifically my banner) - whaddya think?? I also used this week's Sketch Challenge for the layout (it all fit so why not? *wink*)
I used the retired (and much loved) Watercolor Garden II stamp set for the flowers, and inked up the tips of the stems and leaves to make the grass.
The BG was done using the (also retired - tho you can make your own from scrap paper or transparencies) SU! Cloud Template and stamping sponges.
The 'happy' was stamped in craft ink so as to stand out more (since craft ink sits on top of the CS, whereas classic ink absorbs into the CS). I then stamped the small butterfly from the Butterfly of Happiness set (in the Winter Mini) to finish it off.
The card base was stamped using the Weave BG (by Cornish Heritage Farms - I got it from stampingfreak.com) using Lavender Lace then I sponged Vintage Violet ink on the edges.
