As it has been such a fabulous week for us here in the UK with the weather - well, 'Happy Day' just needed to be well and truly wished to everyone.

As I used the current sketch from Mojo Monday (301)for my inspiration it felt rude not to enter it for this week's challenge - which I have to say is my very very first one, never having had the courage to do so before.
You can see what I came up with.

I used lovely Melon Mambo as my card base with a Whisper White top and different papers from the Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper for the card accent strips. The main piece I also sponged for a bit of definition.
The main flower embellishment came courtesy of the Pansy punch - 3 flowers layered together with a retaining Daffodil Delight brad and leaves from the (now sadly retired!) Blossom petals punch
My oval punches came in handy for the centre medallion which I popped up on some Stampin Up dimensionals. I punched 2 of the scalloped ones to split apart for the matted frame and finished it off with fussy cut little flowers made easy with the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch pack.
With a bit of Faux stitching round both this and the card edge to finish off.
Things you need to make this card:
Stamp set: Happy Day
Inks: Melon Mambo, Island Indigo, Pear Pizzazz
Cardstock and paper: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Gingham Garden DSP
Punches: Pansy Punch, Itty Bitty shapes Punch Pack, Scalloped oval and large oval punches
Other essentials: Stampin up dimensionals, sponge daubers, Piercing pack and piercing tool

...and lastly my most treasured possession on my craft foot square this week just has to be the adhesive eraser.

Thanks as always and 'happy day' tomorrow, everyone as well.

What a lovely uplifting card Jan! I love the bright florals with the gingham and the gorgeous sentiment stamped at a chirpy angle. I totally agree about that clever little adhesive eraser too! Vicky x
