Stampin' Up! Happy Place Birthday

Today I made a card in my Motivation Monday using the Happy Place Stamp set.

This card is easy to change up using a different sub-title, but the "Happy" is the main focus!

Palm trees swaying, and sand in your toes feeling makes this a "feel good" card for any occasion.

I used direct stampin' spot to ink technique, then finished it off with a blending brush.

Not a fan of fussy cutting? Use a die to cut around the letters, and change it up.

Make this one, and see if you don't get Happy!!
