Hello Lovelies! It took we a while to get to the whimsical Celestial Wishes Stamp Set which features in the May 2024 Card it as well as in the Celebrate Release. When I look at it, I was thinking of folk art which for some reason took me in a primary color palette direction.
It's such a pretty set that I may give another chance with a bit more of a galaxy night sky look, but I'm pretty happy with these oddball, bright colors as well.

COLOR PALETTE
Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pads - Crimson, Citrine and Cadette
I bought the Versafine Clair Ink Pads a long time ago but have not used them much in stamping and they are also delightful, giving clean vibrant images using pigment inks. Colors below:

CARD WALKTHROUGH
STAMPING
Adhere a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock to a Stamp and Stencil Mat.
Stamp randomly in Intense Black/Nocturne Ink
Stamp the selected flora, fauna, sentiment and decorative images from the Celestial wishes set in the primary colors shown. I was not sure which I was going to use so I made several sets in each color.
Die-cut the stamped images.
Arrange the die-cut images on the background and cover with Glad Press & Seal Wrap.
Press to adhere the die-cuts to the wrap in your preferred arrangement and lift them away from the background.
Flip the wrap over to reveal the plain side of the die-cut and apply craft glue.
Position the wrap over the background and press the die-cuts on the background through the wrap to adhere. Gently pull away the wrap to reveal the adhered collage.
Pop-up the sentiment with foam dots and adhere to the collage card front.
Adhere the card front to a card base to finish.
Collaging is fun, you can create patterns and scenes with your die-cut elements.
The black sentiment ties the background to the rest of the collage.
Someone said that this is a happy card... I think so too!
