For this week's WT challenge ~ Let The Sun Shine
Not so happy with this card, but DH likes it so (unlike the other one we both consider a fail) I'll upload it anyway.
Edges of base sponged with blue.
I used Pumice Stone on my raindrop texture plate from Fiskars, and used that to stamp my rainy background. Originally I tried masking off the sun area, but it didn't look great so in the end I stamped the whole background and stamped the sun separately, cutting it out. I used Rock 'n' Roll to add a little orange along the edges of the rays.
Wrinkle Free Distress and then Linen stamped in Tumbled Glass to create my denim, then I stamped the pockets, cut them out and popped them up on foam. Added a suitable sentiment.

Cute card, neat design! HAPPY BELATED WEDDING ANNIVERSARY! My late husband and I set our date for Sept. 6th so it wouldn't be so blasted hot and it ended up to be the hottest day of the month. Arrgghh. You got rain and I got TOO MUCH sunshine! Heehee! xx

Sabrina, this is a fun challenge and you already have me thinking sunshine before it's even the crack of dawn here. It should be a beautiful day in the gallery this morning.

I really like this....sending sunshine in a pocket makes me think of an old Brownie Scout song I used to sing as a kid (a million years ago!). The rain bg is wonderful......thanks for a fun challenge, and HA to you and your DH!

I think this is a cute card as well-and I like the creative idea a pocket full of sunshine-I always get my hubby's thoughts on my cards as well-he is invested in my hobby just like I am
