Hope Your Days Are Sunny & Bright
Hello crafters! I selected a piece of card from my craft stash that I had previously made using the Stormy Skies Enchanted Sprinkles to use as the background. Next I cut one of the Fine Postage Stamp Ovals in white. I cut a white frame to go with it using Jamie's Plain Oval die set to go on the top of the postage stamp oval. I cut a piece of white card to use as a background for the oval frame and sponged some Sailboat Blue distress ink across the bottom quarter of it. I cut the sand die out of milk card and glued it across the bottom. I added a red beach chair and a tropical drink from the Beach Accessories die set beside it. From the Palm Beach die set, I cut the palm tree out of both tan and green then cut the top of the green tree and added it to the tan palm tree. I glued it coming from the side of the frame behind the chair. The large sun from the Palm Beach die set too was cut in bright yellow and edged with Spiced Marmalade distress inks, then glued into the corner. I added the oval frame to the top of the card using mounting foam. I cut the Hope Your Days Are Sunny & Bright sentiment in white and shadowed it with a black die cut behind it offset slightly. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
