A fun way to add color to the Happy Place stamp with video tutorial

I shared how to add color to the large ‘Happy’ from the Happy Place stamp set on last week’s Live video. What do you think?

We made this cute card at my September card clubs. The colors include Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral & White. You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned inking on the Happy image. I used inks – Lost Lagoon for the water and Calypso Coral for the sky. For this sample I used large ink pads. But for my Clubs we used smaller ink spots. It was a lot easier this way!

You might also wonder where I got the rectangle Perennial Postage die shape. I had to die-cut a larger rectangle twice to get this size. It was pretty easy and I share how in the video below.

We textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Wave 3D embossing folder and the curvy leaf dies are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I love them! The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

It’s an easy fold that shows off the inside of the card and the designer paper we added. This DSP is the Subtles 6″ designer paper which has some great patterns.

I really enjoyed playing with this fun stamp set. I’ll share another project from the video tomorrow. See the Happy Place set here.

I created a free project sheet for you with measurements, photos, directions and a supply list with links. Click on this link to print or download it.
