A Lovely Day


I have made this card for the Happy Daze blog using stamps from the Artistic Outpost 'Lovely Day' set. I used Spring and Summer Limited Edition Distress Inks on glossy card and stamped the main girl collage stamp, and then the girl on her own, and cut them out. I used a patterned paper and added bees from the Bloom and Grow set and sayings from the both sets all over the paper in matching inks, and finally added a die cut and embossed flourish.

I am entering this for the Artistic Outpost Referral Programme for September, the theme of which is Anything Goes. You can buy Artistic Outpost stamps from here in the US, or from Happy Daze in the UK.

  2. Fabulous colours Lucy and I agree with Lynne, the replication of the girl is ingenious.
    Hope to see you soon.

  10. The orange background is amazing - so vibrant and the little bees on the honeycomb are fab! I thought the flourish was crystal until I enlarged it and saw it was basket-weave which ties in beautifully.
