Pocketful of Happiness Stamp Set & Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape

This class project features Merry Merlot, Soft Suede &
Vanilla for its color combo.

The sentiment comes from the stamp set Pocketful of Happiness.
On page 172 in the catalog, you will find the 
Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape.....so very cool !!
The tape peels off in petals to form the flower on this card.
The other washi (soft suede color) was used to
form the border on all four edges of the card.

SO easy peasy and FUN too!!
I finished the card off with 3 designer elements
shown on page 178 in the catalog.

If you have any questions, please ask.
Thanks very much for blogging by......Lori

a die from the Arts & Crafts Die Set.  How fun is that?

please ask.  Thank you for blogging by......Lori
