Happy Little Stampers CAS - July Challenge - Stamping (my first ever DT post)

Hi everyone, I still think I'm dreaming about being asked by Loll Thompson (before I went on my break) if I would like to join the Happy Little Stampers CAS DT . . . and now, to be part of such a wonderful team as Happy Little Stampers, it's a dream come true. 

So, without further ado, let me show you my contribution to my very first post as a DT member on my very first DT!    The theme is 'Stamping'

As the theme is for stamping, I felt that stamping needed to be the star of the show, so I used selective stamping to achieve this.  I used a VERY old stamp set that I thought would be ideal for this challenge, it is See D's, 'Say It Again' stamp set, and stamped each greeting in different colours of ink in rainbow order.

I finally stamped the greeting, Happy Birthday To YOU, underneath in Versafine ink in black onyx, with the Simon Says Stamp, 'You' stamp set.  Then I cut the panel with a My Favorite Things die from the 'Stitched Basic Edges' die set and foam mounted it on to the front of a card base that I covered with a piece of patterned paper from the Avery Elle, 'Everyday Collection' 6x6 pad.

I finished off with just three tiny iridescent star confetti pieces to match the patterned paper.

I hope you have been inspired to play along with the challenge at HLS.  Just make a card with stamping, and then link up to the challenge, it really is that simple.

Here are the pictures.

As always, thank you so much for visiting my blog and for any comments.  You all make my day!  Hazel xx
