Be Happy Always!

Hello and thank you so much for visiting me!  My card today has a very important sentiment - be happy always!



The background is a Uniko background stamp inked with various shades of pink Distress Oxides stamped on a piece of white card.  On a snippet of white card I stamped the flower image, again Uniko, coloured with Promarkers then added different colours of Stickles.  When dry, I glued to panel then to pink card base.  The sentiment which is from Pinkfresh Studio and is taken from a large background stamp, has been stamped on another snippet of white card.  Finally, I added the three black gems.


I would like to enter the following challenges:


Pixies's Snippets Playground - Use Snippets.

Penny Black and More - Say it With Flowers.

Time Out Challenges - Photo Challenge.

Darnell's NBUS Challenge - Never Before Used Schtuff - Mine is the background stamp and the sentiment stamp.


Thank you again for visiting me.  I had a nice week this week as it was my birthday on Wednesday.  I had a really lovely day with cakes, the odd tipple and lots of gorgeous cards and pressies! 


Take care of yourselves and stay safe!  Hugs Christine xxx
