A little Sunshine, with help from Verve Stamps

I've received such lovely responses to my recent projects featuring images from Tellen's Place Designs. The owner, Terry, told me she likes my coloring! which means the world to me. Mom asked if I could one of the bathing beauty images for a card for her friend's granddaughter. I actually have a photo of the sweetie in question in our living room, modeling my first Feria dress. I'm hoping to see them when I visit my folks this winter.

I made a joy fold card with Ally Beach Cool and my beautiful new set from Verve Stamps. I won these from the Mojo Monday 200 Celebration, and I've gotta tell you, I'm hooked! Not only are the stamps beautiful and excellent quality, check out how they were sent:

Wouldn't this make a great gift?! And you know I saved the wrapping for future use!

For the backing paper, I stamped a mix of the sun stamps in watermark ink on light yellow paper, then heat-embossed with transparent-yellow powder. I added detail with different yellow markers. The card itself is 4.25x4.25, so I cut the backing paper into 1.875 squares. For a little something extra, I added matching bows on the front and back.
I added flocking for texture: yellow on the bear, and light blue on the towel.Of course, I couldn't help but want to share this in a few challenges:
