Hey everyone! It's my turn to host the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge!
~
My challenge to everyone this week is to make a card or project that makes you Happy! You can interpret that however you choose to!
For my project, I chose to use the new Stitched For You stamp set. I was thrilled when this set was introduced! If I must endure cold weather, just sit me on a soft sofa in front of a fire, give me a cup of coffee or hot cocoa, and let me knit to my heart's content while watching my favorite movies or television shows! That way maybe I'll survive until the summer rolls back around!
Here's my Happy card:

I started out by using this week's Deconstructed Sketch #78:

I stamped my image on Flourishes Classic white cardstock using Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I colored it up using some of my favorite happy colors from these Copic Color Collections:

The hot pink banner was cut from some of the textured cardstock from the Poppy Paper Collection. The patterned papers are from the Echo Park This & That Graceful 6x6 paper pad. I used a Spellbinders Labels One to cut the image out and popped it up on foam mounting tape. I even pulled out my trusty old sewing machine to stitch around the edges (a little sloppily, I might add).
That's my "Happy" creation! I'd love to see yours! Link it up at the Flourishes blog and be sure to check out all the wonderful "Happy" inspiration from the Timeless Tuesday team:

Thanks so much for stopping in today! Have a great week, and if you don't stop back in before Thursday, I hope all my USA friends have a fabulous love-filled and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving holiday! I know I'm grateful for all of you!
Beautiful card, that new set is so pretty and would work for just about any occasion.

I just love your coloring, Broni! It's very subtle and delicate. You always do such a great job with combining colors...harmonious is the word that comes to mind. Thanks for sharing!

Love your "happy" card. Who doesn't love to sit by a fireplace and knit. I've been knitting the same sweater for 2 years now but am almost finished. Fun challenge. Pat
