Bright and Cheery

It's been dark and dreary with lots of snow here and I haven't been feeling well for three days. So it was time to drag myself out of bed and make a bright and cheery card!  I found the perfect color combination for that at Dynamic Duos and combined it with the brick wall challenge at Technique Tuesday. 
I don't think I've touched my Garden Green ink pad since I replaced my ink pads with the new style when they first came out.  There really is nothing like a brand new ink pad!
This was also the first time I used my new Ovals Collection Framelits.  I pierced holes on all of the scallops to break up some of that green. I think the scallop oval is almost a little bit too big for the largest oval so it needed something. :)  For the brick wall, I first stamped my image on a piece of Whisper White cardstock that was 3 1/2" x 5." I then adhere it to an Adhesive Sheet. This made it a lot easier to adhere down once they were cut apart into the smaller bricks. I cut them with the oval die after I had them all adhered down.  It was really pretty easy! 
 
Stamp Set: Itty Bitty Banners, Secret Garden
Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Whisper White
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Garden Green
Tools: Bitty Banners Framelits, Ovals Collection Framelits, Secret Garden Framelits, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Piercing Tool and Mat

    Spring is here! Love your bright card with the perfect stamping! I especially love that you pierced holes on the scallops - that really creates a stunning effect and beautiful depth.

    WOW! The technique is so fun. I broke into my Garden Green DSP patterns for the first time, funny how we use certain colors and not others. Thanks for playing with the Dynamic Duos.

    This is awesome! It looks time consuming with all the piecing, but so worth it in the end! I'm so glad you played along with us at Dynamic Duos! ♥
