Cheerful Gift From the Garden

Cheerful is a word defined in Webster's Dictionary as happy and optimistic. There's also a second definition that reads "causing happiness by its nature or appearance".

This is how I define cheerful!

I've blogged about this before, but black paired any bright color is always a winning combination. I used Daffodil Delight on this card with a very simple image from the Gift From the Garden (retiring) stamp set.

In fact, the designer papers, the punch and the greeting (Tin of Cards stamp set) are also retiring.

You can view the entire list of retiring products HERE. Remember, retiring accessories are only available while supplies last. Retiring stamp sets are guaranteed until May 22nd. After that date, they are only available while supplies last or through May 31st.

Don't wait to purchase your favorites! Once they have retired, they are gone for good. Order in my online store and get added REWARDS!

I used the 2" Circle Punch for those adorable polka dot rain boots. To keep with the color coordination, I colored in the rhinestones using a black Sharpie marker. The black circle was created using the Layering Circles Framelits.
