Simple happiness


*sigh*. 
The snow depresses me. So I am posting a happy card to make up for it!

Don't you love this paper? It's an old piece of origami paper I bought in China a few years ago. The stamp is SU.


I stamped the sentiment twice in two different colors and cut out select words. I love the added affect this gives.
Come play along with us for this week's challenge at Simple Scrapping Crafts
Create a card using only ONE stamp. One.
I thought it would be hard but this beautiful paper inspired me!

Have a good Wednesday,
*mwah*

Wow, that is some gorgeous paper, and a beautiful quote to go along with it! I love the ribbon tab and sweet roses. Great tip on stamping the sentiment in two colors, too!

Love the card! The colors, the flowers and the sentiment.
We got rain, sleet and snow here in Minnesota with more snow all day today.
