Sunshine & Joy

I've seen several cards lately that have been stamped 'off the edge', a technique that I rarely think about doing.  However Simon Says Stamps 'Beautiful Flowers' stamp set seemed to be perfect for just that. 

 I used a 5 inch square piece of cardstock and stamped the floral image on the left edge allowing part of the image to not be captured.  The stamped sentiment on the right of the flowers is from Penny Black's Treasured Sentiments. Then I colored the lovely flowers with Copic markers.   

I selected the pink patterned paper for the card base matting to coordinate with the flowers and a dark green solid cardstock for the image matting.  For the image and green matting, I used Pretty Shabby Square Dies by Carnation Crafts.  Lastly I secured each layer as shown to complete the card design.

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
