Smile Sunshine

Hello, Hello!

So I received some super exciting news this morning. Unfortunately I can't share it yet but let's just say there was some happy dancing going on at 9:30 this morning and I am not a morning person :)

I originally was going to share some masking/clouds card today but it didn't fit my mood. Some SUNSHINE definitely does! I created this card for the monthly challenge over at Hero Arts as well as Less is More. The challenge over there is a one layer card with doodling (eeek I know!)

Let's get to it :)

I started by splattering my white card base with some glimmer mist in yellow daisy. I know I never use this kind of stuff but I swear I own it :) I am trying to push my boundaries remember!

Once that was dry  I stamped the daisies onto my card base and colored them with my marvy markers. For the doodling I drew a straight line with my pen and ruler, added some faux stitching lines, and finally traced around a scallop edge scrap I had laying on my desk. I knew there was a reason I never threw anything away that had nothing to do with me being messy :)

The sentiment original said "smiles"  I masked off the extra S then hand wrote the Sunshine. I super extra hate my handwriting but in the honor of new things and all I decided to go with it. To finish it off I added a row of bright yellow pearls.

So excited to share my news with you guys but in the meantime I'm wishing your day is filled with lots of sunshine too :)

  1. Beautifully done .... what a great design. Love the way you grounded your images with the doodling. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have know that the word "Sunshine" wasn't stamped. Your handwritten sentiment is great!
