Be happy

"Be Happy " I was happy making this sweet little card until it came to stamping the sentiment- I wanted it to be red but looking through my stamp pads I didn't have one that was a real deep red . 

Lets Create and Craft -  challenge 197 -add flowers . 

I used a paper template for the shape which I think came from a magazine freebie as I don't have a die.The sentiment with matching die is from Altenew and is quite old.

 I  didn't want the leaves to be a solid green , I thought it might make the card too heavy so I stamped the white dies with  some text but that didn't show up so well against the white which is why I then edged the leaves with green. Does that make any sense - who knows.

Have a good and crafty day.
