You Make Me Smile Card

Hi all,

I have another happy  all occasion card for you today.   The design is pretty clean and simple but still oh so cute.

I created the background using a dots background stamp set from Impression Obsession and some versamark ink, a nice easy way to create a subtle tone on tone background.

The turtle comes from Lawn Fawn’s Critters in the Sea stamp set.  I stamped him onto white card stock, colored him in with copics, and fuzzy cut him out.  I die-cut the circle using Spellbinders Circles dies.  While the die was still in place I used some light blue ink to shade in the inside of the circle to create the illusion of water.  I then glued the turtle onto the circle.  The sentiment comes from the Clearly Besotted A Little Sentimental stamp set.  I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock, cut out the flag shape ends, and inked the edges a little with blue ink.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card project.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  To see more photos click on the top photo.
