Happiness

The very talented Lisa has started a fun new challenge called Make it + Mail it.  

Since I mail almost all of my cards, this one is right up my alley.  I needed a card to include in a little "just because" package I am sending to my sister, so I combined some Artistic Outpost stamps for my design.

The Gazebo is from the new Windows & Doors set. I used a craft knife to cut out the windows so it could frame the smiling lady from AO's Happiness set.  I added a bit of sponging to help camoflage some of my cutting inaccuracies.

I used the Happiness sentiment and butterfly from the set to embellish my design.  I used a tiny butterfly on some Basic Grey white DP and some stamped scraps.  I attached it all to some wonderfully textured navy cardstock.

Happy Monday ... this card is headed to the post office.

Hi Steph! Thanks for participating in the very first Make-It + Mail-It challenge, yeah! I bet your sister is going to love this card, so pretty! And! I can't see any cutting inaccuracies so the sponging must have worked. :) HUGS!

Absolutely love your card!
I sure don't see any mistakes! I've got the "girl" stamp and have
been thinking about the
"doors."
