Sunday Happiness Card

sunday

This Card is one of my summer favourites, but I can imagine using it in the middle of winter when I want to feel a bit of summer cheer on a rainy day.  I love the colours and the glitter and how it jumps out at me with cheerful exuberance.  My inspiration was the ribbon.  I started with it and found some colours and things that I thought might work.  And of course I wanted to have a cherry that looked shiny and almost real!

About Shauna

I fell in love with the art of rubber stamping when I was 12 years old. I blame my grandparents. I already had every crafty hobby imaginable when they bought me a few stamps, an ink pad, and some embossing powder. I was hooked. From that point on, no special occasion has gone unmarked by one of my hand-crafted creations. Scrapbooking came next, and though it isn't my first love, it's a close second.
