Happy Little Stampers Case The Designer April 2016...Sending Hugs and Happy Thoughts

Hello and happy April.  I'm here to post a card for Happy Little Stampers Case the Designer challenge.

This month, I am providing the inspiration card, and I used a partial coloring technique to add interest to my card while keeping it very Clean and Simple.

I started with Beautiful Day stamps from Altenew.  I just love these flowers, and how the multi-step layers let me I can get the look of coloring without actually coloring.

I started by stamping just the outline images onto a card front.  I then cut out the center of my card front using a stitched rectangle die.  I made sure that some of each image would extend beyond my center cut out.

Then I stamped the colored layers only on the middle section of my card.  You could also do this with any stamp, even if it were not a multi-step stamp, by simply only coloring the middle section.

Finally, I put the card front back together, and popped up the middle with fun foam.  

Our challenge will run for the entire month of April.  I hope you will play along.  Please head over to the Happy Little Stampers Case the Designers blog to see more inspiration from the rest of the design team.
