I decided to use yellow and green for my bright, happy and sunny card, these
colors always make me happy, and I chose a pretty rose stamp from Penny
Black's set
All Abloom.
Distress inks were used to make the background, I used a technique
referred to "Splash Watercolor", I've mentioned it before here, but if you've
missed those posts, then you can take a peek at Loll's super short
video and see how
this is done.
This background was actually done a while ago but haven't used it then, so I
don't remember the exact inks, probably
Mustard Stain
and the green looks a lot like
Mowed Lawn
and then some sort of a darker yellow?

So after discovering the background in the box, I decided to make it a floral
card keeping the flower yellow as well following an inspiration photo from
the
The Card Concept , and I chose this rose from the Penny Black set
All Abloom. It was stamped directly on
this background using
Versafine Onyx
ink, then stamped again on a separate piece of Bristol Vellum paper, colored
with
Zig Clean Color markers and I cut
out just the blossoms to adhere to the card with
foam tape. The butterfly is also part of
the
same stamp set by Penny Black.
Next I used a
chicken wire stencil by
TCW and
Mustard Stain ink to add some more interest to the card and once again I used my
Stampin Up French Script (long retired) randomly as well. For the script I
used
Twisted Citron
Distress ink.
Related Products (Stencils):
The black faux stitching was done with a retired set by Whimsy Stamps and the
sentiment is from Penny Black's set
Sprinkles and Smiles, both stamped using
Versafine Onyx ink.
To finish off the card I added some parrot green jute twine (I had purchased
it from May Arts but it's no longer listed on their site, some colors are
available via
Amazon unfortunately not this shade of green but you may like
this alternative) to the card and adhered to a heavy weight white card base.

Happy 12th Birthday Ellie!
Your card is so pretty. That background is amazing. I don't generally do messy inky stuff but really appreciate the work that talented people like you put into making them.
You may want to edit your post as the last 2 paragraphs are repeated above and below the image.

A wonderful riot of bright sunshine colour - it's such a cheerful card and beautifully done.
Very beautiful colors and rose motifs on your yellow card creations. It is a coincidence that the yellow color seems to be in vogue in several countries, including mine.
Greetings from Indonesia.
So pretty! I love that yellow background. So creative.
Oh my Ellie, this is stunning, xx
What wonderful prizes!! Looks like a fun challenge, and you always have the most beautiful card designs. Today's card is lovely.
Thanks Mandy. I had edited something on my blog shortly before publishing, not noticing I had two windows in edit mode open and I had picked the wrong one to do the last editing (not noticing it!) Then of course it had saved the incorrect way again!! So frustrating but note to self, never keep two windows open in edit mode LOL!!
Thanks Mervi!

What a super inky background! Love the colour combination and all the depth and texture it portrays. The beautiful floral stamp is the perfect focal point too.
Lorraine
I did not think that was faux stitching! The card is fabulous. Pinned.
Beautiful! This layout would be great for an Art Journal, too! The design works so well together and the faux stitching is just perfect. I thought it was sown on your sewing machine. Thanks so much for joining us at The Card Concept and hope to see more of your creativity soon!
Love everything ! The stamping is great the faux stitching is awesome !
A really super creation Ellie, gorgeous choice of colours and a stunning background and great image. Thank you for joining our 'Bright and Sunny Colours' challenge at We Love Chocolate Baroque.

Absolutely gorgeous - I wouldn't have known the stitching was daux if you hadn't said so, it looks so realistic and is the perfect finishing touch.
Oh, that theme sounds so wonderful! I love the combination of green and yellow for bright colors. #MMBC
