I went very literal with my first card for the challenge.
The background was made by sponging Tumbled Glass Distress ink around some Stitched Clouds cut from scratch paper. A few large and small clouds are flanking the large sun. I really wanted it to stand out, so I added Glossy Accents…making sure to set it aside to dry for a really long time! I used the Instant Camera die to create a frame and an area to hold my sentiment. Here’s a little secret…I really wanted to add some enamel dots, but didn’t have the right color. I used nail polish to create the dots! Fun, eh?
While I was playing with the large and small sizes of sun dies, I thought how fun it would be to make a sun flower! Here’s a fun little tag made with 3 of the large sun pieces and 3 small. Each piece is put together with a super thin dimensional and fluffed with my fingernail.
The stem is made from a stripe stamp in the Mom & Dad sentiments set. The leaves are made from the petal shaped stamp in Darling Diamonds. Here’s a little close up so you can see the dimension
That’s all I have for you here today! Your next stop on this hop is Stamping Royalty – Amy Kolling!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a super day!
