I combined the challenges today. Joan asked that we use something other than a stamp & Misti asked that we use the word happy.
I drink a lot of Pure Leaf tea & in the recycle bin were some bottles. I used the lids & 'stamped' randomly with the top & rim of the lids. This card makes me 'happy' because I could photo outside and my computer allowed my photo program to work!! That really makes me happy.
Thanks for stopping by & I hope you have a happy day!

These colors make me happy! I like the off-set panels and the big die cut greeting. I drink lots of that same kind of tea so I'm going to remember the cool prints you got from the lid, especially the "fuzzy" look from using the flat side.

Tea-riffic! Great idea to use two different lids. The contrast between the two adds interest and faux texture. I like the die-cut happy. Nicely done! TFS

Those look like little donuts, Karen, too funny! I have to admit that your new stamps look pretty cool! Maybe we don't need all the new stamps sets after all....

Love your colors and your offset layout, Karen! Your "stamp' left a double circle almost like a donut - cool. Outside today - not here, we're having our first snow - just a dusting, but still hate the mess it makes on the roads.

Your card says it all..."happy"!! It has been fun to see some creative ideas in the gallery today of different items other than stamps they used to create an image. Thanks for sharing yours!
