Have a nice day! Beautiful bouquet from The Stamp Market!

Good morning friends! Happy Monday! Hope you have a nice day…and a nice week! I finished this card late last night and just got the photos taken, and couldn't wait to share it with ya! We had a fun and mellow weekend. We went to see Doolittle at the movies and it was so cute and fun. I am a huge Robert Downey Jr. fan so it was a treat for me. It was a light-hearted movie that made us laugh so I call it a win. I love how all the movie theaters have recliners now. OH man, how nice to really relax at the movies. One of life's simple pleasures for sure. Are you a movie fan? What's on your agenda for the week? I am getting back into my normal work routine and getting ready for taxes (ugh)… And I have my crochet group meet up on Wednesday night. 

My card today features stamps, dies and colors from one of my favorite new companies The Stamp Market! If you haven't checked them out yet, you must!! Amy's stamps are pretty and fresh and modern and SO CUTE. I'm totally obsessed actually. One of the best new companies to come along in a while. I used the new Oh So Lovely stamp set along with the Strips dies to create a graphic and bright card perfect for a friend!

The finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with red cardstock, stripes and then an oval…

The stamp set comes with tons of flower stamps, so you basically build your own bouquet! I stamped the leaves portion in pretty green and die cut it out with the matching die. Then I stamped a bunch of flowers in different colors and sizes and set them aside to assemble last once the rest of the card was done. The hand stamp is genius – it comes in two pieces! So it looks like a pretty hand giving a bouquet. How can you not love this??

The sentiment comes with the stamp set, and has a matching die! Score! I made the black and white striped background using the brand new Strips Dies! I die cut out several from black and white cardstock. I used an adhesive sheet to affix the stripes onto another piece of white cardstock (see the supply list for all the things I used). Then once the stripes were assembled, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the background layer. The red cardstock in the layering is the same color as the red ink used – this makes it look really nice.

I attached the bouquet and then the hand, using foam circles. I used Copic markers to color the hand, and the fingernails! (I mean, she had to have red nails, right?). I used two small foam circles on either end of the sentiment to affix it across the bottom of the stems.

I added a few hearts in with the bouquet, and also added a few enamel dots! Finishing touches!

This photo looks down onto the card to let you see the layers I built up!

I am so excited about this stamp set – I have so many more ideas!! The sentiments are beautiful tooooo….

Thank you so much for coming by today! I will see you soon, my sweet crafting friends! XOXO
