so here is the actual card I had made for the challenge MFT 186. THis is a 5.5 x 5.5 card as I felt the word Happy needed it’s space.

I love how this card looks, the stamps and die is awesome. I have also used MFT stencil the stripes and i used 3 MFT inks for it- bubblegum, blu raspberry and lemon drop. I distressed the edges with antique linen.  I also have dry embossed one panel. I had started with July color palette of MFT but then strayed as i added layers. The word happy was cut in three layers and then added a coat of glossy accents on the top. The rolled roses have stickles on the top. The swirl is from zva pearls.

Here is the inside

I am entering it in Simon Says Stamp- anything goes; Word art wednesday- anything goes.
