Stampin' Up! Happy Place

Today on Motivation Monday, I created this simple retirement card using Happy Place by Stampin' Up!

This stamp is so much fun to work with. It is one that you can do so many techniques with.

I used direct ink spot to stamp technique, and blending brush to stamp technique to create this beautiful "Happy".

I also used a blending brush and Melon Mambo to shade around the edges.

Give this one a try, and have fun doing techniques with this stamp set.
