Happy & You Know It StampCompleted by Gwyneth George

For this card I took background cup545576_1051 into one of my graphics packages and re-sized it before adding a green background below it and printing it out twice onto 250gsm Super Smooth white cardstock (should have done on 300gsm cardstock because it wasn't quite heavyweight enough for the base card).

I used my HougieBoard to score and mark cutting lines on one of the printouts and made it into a central stepper card.

I printed out this image at a smaller size than provided, cut it out and stuck it to the 2nd copy of the background, putting a semi circle of mottled orange cardstock behind the figures before sticking down.

I trimmed around the octagon shape and around protruding limbs, stuck it to a piece of white hammered cardstock and trimmed around to leave a border.

I used 3mm deep, double sided, foam tape to attach this to the front of the card. I then raided my box of pre-cut embelishments for leafy branches and flowers to decorate around the outside of the card.
