Thank you for participating in this card drive!
A HUGE thank you to my A-MAZING sample makers: Karen B Barber, BevMom, and Kimberly Crawford
Sunshine to me interprets to mean bright...and bright is what I am not good at...so I am not completely happy with this card, but I think it brings "sunshine"...
I knew I wanted to use Trees Three, but I also wanted to play along with the sketch challenge so I just had to make two cards.
Bought more envelopes today, too, so I'm going to spend the next half hour bagging a backlog of cards :rolleyes:.
Since I've never seen sweet Miss Cindy when she WASN'T smiling that infectious smile, and I don't think there's anything more encouraging than a smile, I used that for my inspiration...
Here is my HYCCT1126 Sunshine Card. I just got this Stampin' Up set Precious Butterflies and this sentiment was perfect. I stamped the vine and butterfly first with Brilliance white then with Distress ink to give a slight highlight effect.
