This is my greeting card using Floral Happiness.

I love the simplicity of this card.  Sometimes less is better!  The rose bloom in the stamp set is so delicate.  I generation stamped the full bloom first with Cotton Candy ink which gave a light image.  Then stamped the overlay onto the light image with Cotton Candy again with regular inking on the stamp.  I also stamped the leaves in the same process, generation stamping with Pear ink first, then stamping in same color the overlay onto light leaf with full inking.  I stamped the words with Slate ink.  Inside it says, "being with you," also stamped in Slate.  There are several phrases available to complete the statement, "Happiness is...".  Choose what you want!
