* AALL & Create: Choose Happy

 Hello

Today is my GDT day at AALL & Create and I have made a card.

I adore Janet Klein's cuties, especially the little girls with the flower eyes. She is grounded on torn 'Wishy Washi' washi tape and is telling all to 'choose happy' which is fabulous advice in any situation!

Her partners on my card are a couple of Strange Birds.

I love how stamps from different designers work so well together. The background stamp from Tracy Evans is the perfect setting for the Janet Klein cuties, and Bipasha's triangles, and their hidden sayings, add a lovely geometric touch.

Here's how it came together:

1. I brayered PaperArtsy Fresco Finish paints onto the card, then stamped and heat embossed the leaf stamp, from Through The Meadows, in black..  White paint splatters were added.

2.  I added some stamping, using the Lined Triangles stamp set. I used tone on tone stamping with Versafine Clair Verdant ink and also some black stamping around the edges. I used Inktense Watercolour pencils to shade in the triangles near the edge of the card. A doodled border was added.

The happy girl from Choose Happy and a couple of Strange Birds were stamped and coloured in with copics. They were fussy cut and added to the card, along with the 'Choose Happy' sentiment.
