Remember To Smile by Fliss Goodwin

Hi there, I have a card to share this week, my first in an absolute age, which I was in need of to cheer someone up at a rather difficult time. A favourite PaperArtsy stamp set was the order of the day as the flowers in the set are so cheery and just what I needed.

Ingredients:

PaperArtsy Eclectica Cling Stamp Set – Darcy EDY18

That’s Crafty! Dinky Stencil – Quatrefoil 1 Background TC011

Mixed Media Paper

Archival Fern Green Ink

PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Acrylic Paints

Tim Holtz Idea-ology Big Chat Sticker Book

Button

White Square Card Blank

Old Credit Card or Store Card

Recipe:

Cut a piece of mixed media paper to fit your chosen card blank. I then applied green and yellow paints to the paper by swiping them on with the old credit card.  You don’t need to be precise with this as grungy is good!

Next add a pattern to the top left of the painted paper with the stencil and a darker green shade of paint.

Stamp part of the leaf sprig on the left hand side of the paper with the fern ink and paint deep green. Colour a scrap of mixed media paper with orange paint and stamp on the pointy flower. Cut out when dry.

Assemble the card by gluing the painted paper to the card blank. Add the flower with foam tape and glue on a pretty button. Finish off with some big chat stickers.

We have a great new challenge today over at That’s Crafty! Challenge Blog so don’t forget to check it out at 8am – you have to be in it to win it!
