Brighter Days with Concord & 9th

Morning all!
I'm back today with a bright and cheerful card featuring a recent addition to the bargain basement that has proved very popular - and for good reason!
The Brighter Days stamps and dies are currently available as a bundle at a very reduced price.
So, the perfect excuse to play with this fun set again!
I started out by die-cutting a square of pale pink cardstock ready for stamping.
Full disclosure - without a little assistance, I'm a very wonky stamper!
So to help me centre things in my stamp positioner, I created myself some handy little grids from plastic quilting template sheets to use as alignment guides.
The 4" square one is super handy, as many US nested square die sets (like the one I've used here) feature this size, and the template makes it really easy to line everything up before stamping.
To balance things out, I stamped the sentiment first, then selected some bright colours for the rainbow stripes.
Next, I used the coordinating dies for the glittery clouds and little heart accents.
Finally, I mounted the pink panel on the Zig Zag square and stuck it down on a kraft card blank from Papermania.
The finished result looks a bit like a giant postage stamp, which I love!
Until next time, happy crafting!
