Giggle and Laugh

Hi!

I hope this finds you doing well on this fine Thursday and having a good week!

Using my favorite card base ever Kraft *smile*,  I painted it using some white craft paint. I added a Whisper White panel which has been stamped using various stamped frames.  I took inspiring sentiments that would put a smile on the recipient's face inside some of the frames.
A heart was cut from Kraft cardstock and then I ran it through my crimper to give a corrugated cardboard look finishing off with a touch of paint. A partial doily was added to the bottom embellishing with some beautiful paper blooms and leaves. 
Lastly the edges were distressed and some tea stain ink was applied. I hope my little share today made you smile.

I am also joining along over at The Kraft Journal - Make Me Smile. 

I hope you have a wonderful day and will join along in all the fun!
Thanks for visiting! It makes me smile!
