Hey Happy Summer - Stampin' Up! Choose Happy

   I designed this fun summer themed card for my last class.  I wanted to highlight the Choose Happy and Saying Hey stamp sets as they could easily be overlooked for some of the bundles and big suites that are in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  

  This one starts with an Azure Afternoon base, then a layer of Melon Mambo.  On the top layer I used Azure Afternoon again and stamped the big 'hey' from the Saying Hey stamp set in Azure Afternoon ink.  I love how this big sentiment looks as a background.

  Next the sun and sailboat from Choose Happy are stamped onto a Basic White Heartfelt Hexagon punch in Memento black.  The images are colored in with colored pencils and blended with a blender pen.  A second Heartfelt Hexagon is punched in Daffodil Delight and is cut in half and added to the back of the other hexagon giving it a nice bright frame.  The hexagon is then popped with dimensionals.

  The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo ink using more stamps from the Choose Happy set and then trimmed to fit to the side of the image.  

  A few Adhesive-backed Dots for Days are added as a final touch.

  All of the products used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
