While I was making Joanie's Thank You card, I was on video chat with our daughter and youngest grandson, Tanner (he's 4). He ask me to show him what the card looked like as I went. Tanner was having a bit of a rough day that day. His older brothers are back in school full time and he's had a hard time adjusting to them not being at home during the day. When we first got on the phone he told me he was sad because he didn't have a friend to play with. Just broke my heart. When I was almost done with the card he says, "Mommom, I would really like a card like that!". I said, "you would?". He says, "yes Mommom, and I'm gonna make you a card and put Happy on it because I want you to be happy". Talk about making me well up with tears. Even when he's sad and having a rough day he wants to make sure others are happy. He's such a good little guy!
Since he wanted to make me a card and put "Happy" on it...I thought I would put "Be Happy" on his card since he was having a rough day. I used most of the same products for Joanie's card- MFT Color Blast Die-namics. I ran it through the Cuttlebug using MFT cardstock in Wild Cherry, Orange Zest, Lemon Drop, Limelight, Cornflower, and Boysenberry. Next I used MFT Be Happy Die-namics in white on Stampin' Up's Adhesive Paper before die cutting it. I added Wink of Stella to it then added it to the rainbow. I used MFT Stitched Cloud Edges. Then finished off the card with some tiny iridescent bubbles.
