Happy Wednesday, everyone! It's Mercy here, and I am rounding out the 13th and final day of the March 2010 Project Parade! I have been creating cards that are more along the clean-and-simple side lately, so I wanted to continue the trend today.
I needed a card for a sweet friend of mine who has always brought a smile to my face and sunshine into my heart, so I immediately reached for the "Let It Shine" stamp set. I love this set because not only are there several images to use to create a sun, but there are also just as many images one can use to create cool flowers. These images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto White Cardstock, then colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I created the sun by layering the three similar images in the set, then used the smallest of the three as flowers. I stamped the sentiment "little miss sunshine" in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a piece of Pumpkin Cardstock, then punch the upper edge with a Spiral Punch. I added a border punch, and created grass by simply cutting the Wasabi Cardstock with scissors. The stems on the flowers were stitched using my Janome Sewing Machine, and all four corners of the Kraft Cardstock panel were pierced with a Mat Pack and Paper Piercer. I also kept the embellishments simple by punching a hole through the creating a slit in the upper right corner, running a piece of Pumpkin Striped Ribbon through it, then tied it off with a piece of Linen Thread.
That's it for me! Be sure to read the rules below for a chance to win some amazing goodies! Until later......
