It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. Welcome back! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season! Seems to have gone by VERY quickly for me!

BEAUTIFULLY HAPPY
I’m using one of the new Sale-A-Bration stamp sets available beginning January 5th! I cut off the stem portion to make it more of a cluster of flowers to fit within my circle.

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- Four 1-1/4 x 4-1/4 strips of Regency Park Designer Paper were spaced across the front of the card.
- The largest Stylish Shape circle was cut from Basic White cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The Beautifully Happy flower was stamped with Night of Navy Ink and hand-cut, cutting off the stem portion. It was colored with the solid images in Mango Melody, Shaded Spruce and Balmy Blue and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting was stamped towards the right side with Night of Navy Ink on 1/2 x 4 Mango Melody cardstock, the end was cut at an angle. It was added across the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on each end.
- The blue Milky Dots were added to the center of the flower and two in the background on the circle.

I had total fun making this card and love the colors! Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary
