Sending sunshine and smiles

Hello

I made this card to send to my Nana.  She likes the colour green and I had this lovely patterned paper in my stash that I have no idea where it came from that I knew she would like.  It happened to be a bit of a cloudy and wet day when I was making it so naturally I chose the sentiment that said 'sending sunshine and smiles'.

Materials used:

  • Yellow card base, green and brown patterned papers, pearl shimmer paper
  • 'sending sunshine and smiles' stamp (Rosie's Studio)
  • Green ink (Archival Library Green)
  • Nesting circle dies (Couture Creations)
  • Green sequins and self adhesive pearls



I first die cut the pearl and brown patterned papers and stamped the sentiment onto the pearl paper.  I cut the green paper 1cm shorter in length and width than the card base.  I trimmed a strip of the brown paper to a width of 2cm.

I assembled the card by adhering the green paper flat to the base then the brown strip and circle.  The sentiment was adhered with foam tape and the sequins added with multi medium in matte.

I've added this card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "All things bright and beautiful".

That's it for today's card.
Till next time.
