Get your Happy On

I've been pulling out stamp sets that I hadn't inked up yet and making cards with them lately. I can't believe I hadn't used these cute cactus images until now. I combined a set by Art-C and Craftsmart to stamp this background. I combined a sentiment by CAS-ual Friday stamps, which I heat embossed on a strip of black card stock. All it needed was some bakers twine and a little inking around the edges.

I've found that I needed more flat cards that are easy to mail, and this design fit the bill perfectly.

    I live in the desert in Southern California so this little cactus card really called to me. Love the clean and simple design and the two colors. Thanks for joining the Lost Coast Design Challenge!

    These stamps are so cute and love how you used them in the pale blue and added the pretty twine. Always love to see a sentiment popped up like this. Thanks for joining Time Out x
