DCM - Cheer someone up!

This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, Miri is challenging us to come up with a card project to brighten someone's day.

Well, I thought bright pretty colours were the way to go:

Stamp: Flora & Fauna - Everyday Word Party
Dies: The Stamp Market - Color Block 1, The Stamp Market - Vintage Slides

It took some time to cut out the Color Block die 8 times from assorted AC cardstock (Tropical and Bright packs now at least 10 years old) and twice from white cardstock, but finally it was time to get the background assembled with the aid of liquid glue and I just needed to find a fitting sentiment and way to display it.

So back to my Flora & Fauna Everyday Word Party stamps for the perfect wording.

I used the Vintage Slides dies from The Stamp Market to frame it (and cut those from white cardstock several times to add a pop of dimension).

Before stamping the sentiment, I watered down a little Minty Fresh ink to watercolour the inside of the frame.

And as a finishing touch a little heart sticker and that lovely Avery Elle twine. I wish I could get it in red because this twine is fab to work with. It really holds its shape and ties nicely. :D

That's it for this week - make sure you check out the wonderful projects from the rest of the Design Team here! I hope you can play along. :D

Happy crafting!
