Wishing You Sunshine

I just love the spring sunshine!  We've had such beautiful days here lately.  Just the perfect temperature...not too cold, not too hot, just enjoyable!  I love letting the kids play outside!

Today's card is all about sunshine!  It is clean and simple which I enjoy.


LOVE that background!  It was made using PTI's new Plaid Impression Plate.  It is such a subtle way to add texture to the cardstock.


I "bowed" the sentiment strip just slightly to match the shape of an umbrella...just a fun little touch.  I used 1/16" pop dots on the main white piece, then used 1/8" pop dots on the edges of the sentiment strip and another 1/8" pop dot in the middle of the strip to allow it to curve just slightly and give it dimension.


Hopefully it will cheer someone up when they need a little bit of encouragement!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

Supplies
Stamps:  PTI Scattered Showers
Paper:  White, PTI Raspberry Fizz
Ink:  PTI Hawaiian Shores & Raspberry Fizz, Burnt Umber Palette
Other:  Plaid Impression Plate, Pop Dots, Pink Rhinestone, Silver Beads

Very nice - it's in the style of Silke which I really admire. Sometimes it's hard to get a simple (and I mean that term in a good way, I love simple!) card to have such a wow look and you did it!

GRRRRR. I've been trying to comment on this card all day Jen, but blogger would NOT work for me in my office today. As soon as I got home from work I ran to see if our home computer would let me! You are the queen of tiny details MAKING the card. I get so excited seeing what you will come up with next! Your style is awesome.Just plain awesome.
