It’s Monday and time for another Inspiration Monday on Create with Connie and Mary! Isn’t this floral bouquet beautiful?  I knew immediately what I wanted to use…the Stampin’ Up! Monthly Special set, Happiness Surrounds.

Here’s what I did with the inspiration…doesn’t it just WORK?  So happy with how it turned out!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Tranquil Tide cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock added on top.
• The long “vine” from Snowfall Thinlits and a couple leaves were cut from Tranquil Tide cardstock.  The flowers from Crisp Cantaloupe, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry cardstock.  They were layered together, then added to the “vine”.
• The clear Faceted Gems were carefully colored with Basic Black Blends and added to the centers.
• The greeting from Happiness Surrounds was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the open area on the right side.

Isn’t that a bright and cheerful card?  I love it!  OK…go check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Challenge this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!
