Today I'm featuring a stamp set that helps children with cleft palates. When you purchase the You Make Me Happy stamp set Close To My Heart donates $7 to Operation Smile to help pay for facial surgeries for children around the world. What a great feeling to help these children!
I've paired this special stamp set with our Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for this week. It's an easy sketch to work with and would make a very nice scrapbook layout, too! I started by stamping the image in black and coloring with Watercolor Pencils. I smoothed out the colors with a water brush to finish the look. The image was then cut out using one of our Thin Cut Dies as is the sentiment oval. I then assembled the rest of the card and stamped a few flowers around the card front. I stamped the flowers in Peach ink and then used that as the guide to color with the Peach Shimmer Brush on top to give them some sparkle. Some Bitty Sparkles for the flower centers was the final touch!
