Let The Sun Shine

Thursday, April 30, 2009

This card was created for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Challenge. You can read all about it by clicking here. While you are there, be sure to check out all the designers listed who are participating today!

Yellow is the today's color and I just love the Crafty Secret Cotton Scraps Sharon is selling. These Cotton Scraps make such a beautiful and easy card. I stitched it with my sewing machine to attach it to the card stock, but you can also use pinking scissors and adhesive for a different look.

Several colors were combined by pulling the colors out of the cotton scraps. I hope they blend as nice on your screen as they do IRL. The flying bird is from Crafty Secrets Bird Lovers Stamp Collection (one of my favorite sets) and I colored it using my Copic markers. I just received JustRite's new Tiny Words Stamp set and it was perfect to create the sentiment. Both are popped up with some Dimensionals.

Don't you just love that beautiful Silk ribbon that Sharon is selling? This is the first time I have had a chance to use it and if you haven't tried it, don't hesitate another minute. It just seems to flow and makes tying a bow so very easy! Hop on over to Sharon's Ribbon tab (at the top) and see all the gorgeous colors she has in stock.

I adore Crafty Secrets' cotton scraps too. Only difference is that I just ogle and drool over mine but am too chicken to use them! Thank you for the motivation and inspiration - your card is just beautiful.
