Happy Tuesday! Today I’m bringing you a big ol’ Mug of Sunshine, combining images & words from ‘Hello Sunshine Turnabout‘ by Concord & 9th with ‘I Like Big Ones‘ by Picket Fence Studios and a fab oldie, the ‘Rays‘ stencil by Tim Holtz.
For the card background, I inked the Rays with two shades of Distress Oxide ink, Fossilized Amber & Spiced Marmalade. I blended them with a broad Life Changing Blender Brush. I like to work from light to dark, so went from the outer edges of the stencil towards the center. I heat embossed the ‘Big One’ mug in Letter It Navy Embossing Powder on deep yellow card stock, then blended some ink onto it for some shading. I stamped the sunshine design in the same Marmalade ink over the image, then added the sentiment in navy ink over them.
I finished off the card base with some crinkle ribbon wrapped around a blue textured panel. I added a few sequins for a bit of extra shimmer- these are from the Ocean Breeze set by Picket Fence Studios.
I hope my card brings some SUNSHINE to your day! I know a lot of BC is getting a ton of rain right now… if I could, I’d gladly share some of my heat & southern sunshine with you!
Inky hugs,
Tara
