Wishing You a Beautiful Day lots of cards

I had an idea pop in my head yesterday to make some cards like this..  all this while listening to Alan Jackson on my Kindle and waiting for my son after his golf practice..  I came right home and made one right away so I wouldn't forget.   After dinner I made a bunch more.. 

This is a great way to use up some of your 6 x 6 paper pads.  *Measurements are below.

these are two of the samples..  At first I was stamping the sentiment at the top.. but then after stamping a bunch realized I wanted some brads on it (the brads in the lower right corner were an afterthought because I thought it looked plain).. so I changed the stamping so I could put the brads in the upper right corner.

For the flowers.. I just inked up the flower and stamped the flower that is kinda in the center.. then stamped around it and down the sides a little.. or up the sides like I did on the first ones.. they will overlap some, all good. I also just stamped some parts of the petals to fill in blank space around the sides.

Then this morning I made 6 more..but on these the only stamping is the sentiment...
