Life is Beautiful in the Happy Forest

Today's card uses this week's Bellarific Friday Sketch. It's posted on the blogabella every Monday, so you can play along. Then Em posts all the cards on Friday. I think that is so fun. This shiny, happy paper is new (only to me). It's called Hello Sunshine by Cosmo Cricket. It comes in an 8x8 pad and every piece has that cool bracketed border on the bottom. It's a little older, so if you can't find it elsewhere, my friend has some left in her online store. It's even on sale.

I stamped the Happy Forest with Memento black ink and colored with copics. Yes, that ink really is as good as everyone says. This was my first go with it, and I couldn't be happier. The sentiment is one of the Strip Teases in the Hello Sunshine pad. I cut the oval with my nesties, layered it on tempting turquoise and trimmed the scallops with some decorative scissors. Stamps- happy forest (stamping bella)
