Krafty Chicks Challenge #562 - Stamp Act

 Welcome June and all it's spring/summer beauty. I have my garden planted and all of my flowers too. All there is left to do is the weeding and mulching but Alberta has been hit with a heat wave for the last few days and I can't stand the heat. It's a job for another day!

Onto my card for this week's Krafty Chicks Challenge: STAMP ACT. As long as I have something stamped, be it image or sentiment, it's qualifies for the Stamp Act challenge!

 I made this card for a very special girl who turned 3 on the weekend. Ever since she was born, her cards have had a lady bug on it, so it wasn't going to be any different this year. I used a bunch of Stampin' Blends to colour the images. By the way, one can never have enough Blends, collect them all and keep the retired ones too.

Supplies I used:

• Little Ladybug stamp set: retired
• Heart stamp: January 2021 Paper Pumpkin
• Thick Basic White card stock: 159229
• Highland Heather card stock: 146986
• Melon Mambo card stock: 115320
• Old Olive scrap card stock: 100702

•  Stampin' Blends, light and dark, Soft Suede: 15496
• Stampin' Blends, light, Smoky Slate: 154904

To decorate the inside of the card, I used a little decorative mask in the corners, stamped of the heart of hearts twice and stamped Happy Birthday through it, another ladybug, and some glimmering hearts left over from a different project. The envelope is decorated quite similarly. I knew this card was going to be hand-delivered, so I covered most of the front, leaving a heart shape for the Birthday Girl's name, with the decorative mask and added more glimmering hearts.
