I needed cards to send to a friends daughters who are at camp this week and love to get mail - so as I looked through Cindy's gallery I knew her Stay Cool card was the perfect design to CASE!
I used different colors and techniques on my cards.
I cut these fun sunglasses out of Starbucks cold drink cups last year and I cut out a lot so I was happy to be able to use some of them!
I made my background using a Sun Rays stencil and Brushos. I laid the stencil over a panel of white card stock, sprinkled Brushos in Orange, Lemon and Yellow over the stencil and then spritzed with water. I carefully lifted the stencil off the card stock and dried it with my heat tool. (card on left)
There was a lot of watered down Brushos on the top of the stencil I had just used - so I flipped it over onto a clean panel of white card and pressed over the stencil with a paper towel giving me the negative image of the stencil. (card on right)
Gwen and Paige are twins but they are individuals so I was happy to make the cards slightly different for each! (I also just noticed I didn't add the orange framing panel on the right card so I'll have to fix that!!??!)

Julia this is a fantastic set of cards and you gotta love a two-for-one technique eh?! Love the blend of bright vibrant colours on your sun rays and those glasses are great...I can't believe you snipped those off a drink cup?! How resourceful and crafty of you!
I'm sure your friend's twin girls are going to love getting these cards while they are away at camp!
Its such an honour to be FS this week! Thanks so much for your card and kind words!

Creative! Love your case of Cindy's cool card. How nice of you to make two cards to send to campers. They will love them! Love the sunrays. You are clever to get two cards out of one stenciling. Well done. TFS
