Hello crafting friends!
Here's another card that tells you how I'm feeling about the winter!
I've used my Hello Sunshine Turnabout stamp set for this uplifting card, adding the circle from Stampin' Up's Waterfront for the centre of the sun.
The sunshine is peeping out from behind clouds cut using one of Lawn Fawn's Puffy Cloud Border dies. This only stitches along the cloud so I added a stitched edge with a stitched rectangle die.
The sentiment was stamped over the clouds using my stamping platform for position and I added some gems coloured with an alcohol marker.
CHALLENGES
I had been feeling completely uninspired but then Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge popped into my email inbox with its Positive cue word! I shall also link up with AAA Cards where it's a CAS challenge this fortnight and they're looking for cards using up to a third of the card front, with an optional twist of hearts. (I'm obviously not feeling the love today so no hearts!)
AND IN OTHER NEWS
Actually I AM feeling the love today because...
... well, who wouldn't when faced with the expression on this waggy little girl's face?!
Who brings the sunshine into your life?

Well, blessedly, we do have some sunshine today....although it may be the only day of the week we do....so perhaps I will have to come back and peruse your pretty little card when I get down in the dumps! Such a simple, happy creation! And I do grin when I see your pretty pup, too! TFS!
ReplyDeleteEva brings a lot of joy into people's lives! And I am wishing you lots of sunshine very soon!
DeleteEva sure looks happy . . . so of course, that rubbed off on you! You've made a lovely sunshiny card.

She is, as my eldest son has told me, 'living her best life' and is as happy as the day is long!

Aw thanks Faith! My children tell me I have two daughters, one floofy and one smooth! x
DeleteI really love your CAS sunshine card! So perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kristie! Sometimes we have to supply our own sunshine!!
DeleteFab card, Vicky xoxo
ReplyDeleteSending a sunny wish equals love to me!
ReplyDeleteYep! Me too Bonnie!
DeleteSunshine definitely lifts the mood Vicky - as does Eva's sweet smile and wagging tail! Even a cheery voice can be enough to lift spirits - I spoke to someone on the telephone this morning who was super-cheery and it really was infectious (in a good way)!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely - all these things are lovely things!
DeleteGreat CAS design, love the sun peeking from behind the clouds.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you linked up at HLS CAS. :)
