February SOTM Blog Hop

Welcome to the February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! You might be arriving here from ALYSON'S BLOG. We have almost 70 consultants sharing fabulous A Happy Hello artwork this month!
For this quick card I started with this week's Freshly Made Sketch. I knew I wanted to emboss the card front with the Heart Embossing Folder, so I grabbed the bright and cheery ColourQ colors to accent the simple design. I chose Ruby, Hollyhock, Smoothie, and Whisper to match the ColourQ palette. Each banner I stamped with a different color and a different tiny flower from A Happy Hello. First I stamped the banners cleanly, then went over them again second generation to mellow out the B&T pattern I was making. I swiped the edges of each banner, too. 
Our clear stamps made it easy to line up the different layers of the flower when I was stamping it. I added Bitty Sparkles all around the edges of the flower and colored them with an alcohol marker. you can see the reversed embossing here a little - I flipped the embossing so it was recessed and I had a hard time getting it to show in the photos. I stitched down each banner and all around the card as a final touch. The whole thing took about 15 minutes including stitching! 

Next up on the hop is MELISSA'S BLOG. Enjoy all the Happy Hello artwork, and don't forget you can only get A Happy Hello in the month of February!
