Create Your Own Sunshine

Hi everyone!  It’s time to stamp for fun!  Yay!  🙂

Today my dear friend, Lori, and I are both posting cards using Stamping Bella‘s new(ish) Uptown Girl Sunny is Stylish.  (I ♥ ♥ ♥ the Uptown Girls.  All of them.)

My image was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics.

To “create my own sunshine,” I used the tiny sun from MFT’s Notched Tag Die-namics, layering yellow over black.  The sun is raised on a Kool Tak Clear Foam Square while the image panel is raised on slightly thicker X-Press It Foam Tape.  Along the bottom, I added a thin Mini Scallop Edge.

I matted each piece onto MFT’s Black Licorice card stock, leaving a very thin border to avoid overwhelming the image.  It’s just enough to set the layers apart.

Be sure to pop on over to see how Lori used this same image.  Can’t wait to see for myself!  🙂

Don’t forget about my Copic give-away HERE.  Just a few days left to comment.

Thanks for stopping by!
