Here's hoping there are some blue skies and sunshine ahead. What a miserable day out today. School was cancelled due to the weather and so we are stuck inside. Donovan is happily playing his Lego Star Wars game at the moment but his time is almost up. I'm sure he'll end up playing with his Star Wars toys right after. LOL. We've created a Star Wars monster. Of course, we are actually proud of this. :-).
Anyway, I've got a card to share today that will hopefully, pick your spirits up out of the doldrums that this years winter weather has most likely created.
I used a sun digi stamp by Paper Smooches and the clouds are from PS as well from the Eco Friendly set. I used some leftover paper I had that was made with alcohol inks for the clouds. I coloured the sun with my Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut it and the clouds out. I arranged them how I wanted on my white cardstock panel and adhered them on. I raised the one cloud on top with some foam dots. Then I stamped the sentiment which is from a camping set by Inkadinkado. Lastly, I adhered my panel to my white card base with some foam dots.
I'm linking this up to the following challenges:
CAS-ual Fridays - "shades of grey" challenge.
STAMPlorations - monthly challenge for March is "stamps and spring". This was certainly made with Spring in mind. :-)
Addicted to Stamps and More - "anything goes" challenge.
Fusion Card Challenge -
I used the sketch only for inspiration.
Well, that's it for today. Hope the weather is nicer wherever you are and thanks for visiting!
This is lovely! The colouring on the sun looks great and I like how you made the paper for the clouds, great job. The sentiment is a great reminder for me, literally and metaphorically speaking. Thank you for joining us at ATSM.
