www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Beautifully Happy stamp set used to make a pretty thank you card for the Colour Combo colour challenge Blog Hop

The large sprig of flowers was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. The in-fill leaves were then stamped in Coastal Cabana ink.

I used Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade Blends Markers were used to colour the flowers. A Coastal Cabana Stamp ‘n Write Marker added colour to the base of the flowers and smaller leaves.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Beautifully Happy stamp set used to make a pretty thank you card for the Colour Combo colour challenge Blog Hop

Using a Blending Brush, I added Coastal Cabana ink around the edges of the decorated panel and used the same ink to stamp the dotty image randomly around the flowers. The decorated panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer.

I wrapped a length of Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. Yes I know it is technically another colour but in my opinion the colour is much closer to Flirty Flamingo. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Hydrangea Dies and was added over the ribbon on Dimensionals. I flagged the ends of scrap strips of Basic White, Poppy Parade and Coastal Cabana card and tucked them under the top right corner of the stamped panel.
