Inspired by the Sun (MFTW21)

Happy Friday everyone!

Back in January each DT'er was asked to "host" a MFTW challenge. Decide what the challenge would be and then design a card based on it. Well, my time has come :0)

I knew by the end of March I would be sick of winter, rain, and cold so I wanted a challenge that would be the exact opposite: springy, sunny, and warm! So, my challenge for this weekend is "Inspired by the sun". You could go with the colors, the shape, the lack of . . .




For my card I tried another silhouette. I knew I wanted a sunset/sunrise for the background. If you've never been to Michelle Zindorf's blog, you have to check it out!! She creates some amazing works of art with brayering and sponging and has the most fabulous tutorials on how to do it!! That is where I got the idea for the background on this card. The grass was created by the direct pad to paper technique - pretty cool!! Sprout fairy and the sentiment were the last images stamped and then she was colored in with a black SU! marker.

Hope you can play along this weekend. Link your creation to the Paper Makeup Stamps blog and then come back here and let me know that you did. I'll pick a random commenter and send them this card!

Spring break starts today and 70's are expected for next week!! Yeah sunshine!!!

  2. I love this card - I would not have known it wasn't a solid stamp until you stated you colored it in with marker! Wonderful idea and another way to get even more use out of our rubber!
