Hip Hip Hooray

Hi friends! I hope you're having a good day! Today I'm playing along at Shopping Our Stash. The theme this time is Leaf Me Alone! I love that they encourage me to use products I already have instead of shopping for new! I've been trying to slow my spending and focus more on supplies like inks, makers and cardstock lately.
This card starts with the Reverse Confetti Stitched Pinwheel cover die cut from white cardstock. Instead of cutting a bunch of scraps with colored cardstock I inked the cut out pieces with distress ink. This saved me time cutting !!!

I topped the panel with Reverse Confetti Tropical Leaves that I stamped with colored ink on colored cardstock. You don't have to be a master with markers to add some color to your designs!

The HAPPY sentiment is cut from cardstock in matching colors. The letters are adhered over the background die that's included in the Reverse Confetti "Happy" die set.

The finishing touch is a few gold enamel dots. I always stock up when Hobby Lobby has a Paper Studio half off sale! The gold is brilliant because it goes with EVERYTHING! I hope you find some time to play!

Absolutely perfect sentiment for this card - it's just bursting with Happy Vibes!! Thank you for the tip on using blended inks instead of cutting individual pieces of cardstock, brilliant idea. x

Soo colourful. I like the way you've layered everything up and used white to anchor it. Thanks for Shopping your Stash with us this time.
