Happiness abounds card

I used the Happiness Abounds stamp set to create this card.

I stamped around the edge of the card alternating the floral and foliage stamps, and masking off the images as I stamped. 

Then I coloured the images with Copic markers.

The green background was  coloured with copics in between the flowers, but I did use a blending brush and lemon lime twist  ink pad and blended a little ink in the centre.

I stamped  several sentiments  onto a piece of acetate to see which sentiment would look best in this floral arrangement, before I  decided on which sentiment to use.
