Rainbow Smiles

My first post as a guest designer for Krafty Chicks Challenge #497 Stamp Act (use a stamp) is all about penguins, rainbows and sending smiles! I love having cards in my stash that I can send to a friend or family member who needs a little pick me up or a hug in a card as I like to say when I can't be there in person.

I had a hard time choosing from my stamp "collection" but decided that the super adorable Waddles from Your Next Stamp needed some love and ink. He has been in my stash for awhile and hasn't seen daylight..or ink!

I coloured this cutie and the rainbow with alcohol markers and cut him out using the matching die. The rainbow was hand fussy cut and I added some clear sparkle pen to it - so hard to see in the photo! I set them aside and created my sky background using a cloud die cut, ink and a dauber. Next I stamped the clouds (included in the set) and grabbed a sentiment from a second Waddles set and stamped it inside the cloud - it was a perfect fit. 
This is a more clean and simple card then I usually do but I needed to keep it somewhat flat so I could mail it although Waddles and the cloud are popped up with foam pop dots.......maybe this one will have to be hand delivered!
