Laughs in Flowers by Jen Shults, stamps and dies from Verve Stamps

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a fantastic Thursday! Things are pretty busy around here today. 🙂 I’m sharing another new Verve creation today using a gorgeous new stamp set called Happy Place. This set is so adorable! I just LOVE it (I know I say that about every Verve set but it’s true!)

I started my card by stamping two of flowers from the set and coloring them with Copics. Next I die cut them with the coordinating die, Happy Doodles Die Set. The layout is pretty simple. I did a little embossing folder inking in the background using the chain embossing folder from LifeStyle Crafts.
