Back again with the 5th in this series of 5 projects made using the Happiness Surrounds set.

I have used the fabulous foil edged notecards and envelopes again, Simple and quick with a big wow factor. Using the stamparatus for these images makes repeated stamping like this easy.  Stamp all 3 colours with your card held in one position. then move the cardstock to your next position and anchor it with the magnets and restamp all 3 colours Repeat until happy if you mark the underlying gridpaper with the position each time you stamp the images, you can repeat this pattern and stamp multiple cards  to line up the images stamp the large outer circle first position the radial leaf image with the tip of each leaf matching the base of the little fountain spray image - see photo below position the small solid flower image with the join between each petal exactly matching the base of the leaf stalk...
