You Brighten My Day

I just love the circles and flowers on this card!!

There's something about them that just makes me happy!!

We start this card with a Crushed Curry Card Base, then add a layer of Baked Brown Sugar Card Stock, followed by a layer of Whisper White Card Stock embossed with the Lovely Lace Embossing Folder.

Lovely Lace Embossing Folder 133737 $7.95

We also added a strip of the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper, along with a Coastal Cabana Ribbon and Bow to the bottom of the card. The Designer Series Paper and Ribbon are both items you can get for FREE during Sale-a-Bration. The Best Year Ever Ribbon and Accessory Pack actually comes with 5 yards each of Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry and Calypso Coral Ribbon and 12 buttons in the same colors!

Next, we stamped "You Brighten My Day" and that cute light bulb (from the You Brighten My Day Stamp Set - yours FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration) in Black Stazon Ink. We punched this piece out with our 1 3/4" Circle Punch and layered it on top of a Crushed Curry piece die-cut with our Starburst Framelits.

We colored the light bulb in with our Crushed Curry Marker, added some sprarkle with our Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter and Two-Way Glue Pen and then sponged the circle with our Stamping Sponge and Crushed Curry Ink.
