Hello friends!
Hope you all have been having a wonderful week and enjoying the Spring weather. Here in Edmonton, it feels like Summer already! We usually have such short seasons, but Spring seemed to arrive on time this year so I have been enjoying it.
Simon generously sent me this leafy circle wafer die to play with. When I first saw the die, I instantly thought of the Fall, but because I wanted to challenge myself and do something sunshine inspired I decided to create a card with more of a Spring/Summer feel.
So onto my Sunshine card... I think it worked perfectly for this Sending Sunshine theme 🌞
To create this encouragement card, I began by blending out sun rays onto the background with squeezed lemon oxide ink. Then using the die I ran the panel through the Sizzix with the impression mat. I then used the die normally to cut out the white leaves. Before adhering the leaves to the background I gave them a slight bend and then glued them down in place using the impressions as a guide. Next, I stamped out my sentiment from the Choose Joy set. Leaving off the "You bring" before the sunshine. I then die cut a few layers using the Sending Die and glued them together to place in the center of the leafy wreath. I finished the card by embellishing it with yellow rhinestones and adding glossy accents to the Sending.
Here is a closer look at all the pretty detail.
Hoping this Sunshine card will warm someone's heart when they've had a gloomy day 😊
