Sending You Sunshine

This summer has been the cloudiest that I can ever remember here! Alberta is renowned for being sunny, even if its -30C its still sunny but this year has been awful! Cloudy day after cloudy day so I decided to make a bright sunny card, with lots of sparkle and flowers. This card is for the Whimsy monthly challenge which was to use pearls, and I used a lot of them. I stamped the flower twice, cut out 4 petals and raised them. Gorgeous.
Stamp: Whimsy Water Lily
Paper: whisper white, brilliant blue, summer sun
Ink: summer sun, brilliant blue
Other: prisma markers, Stampin Up finial press embossing folder, classic/scallop spellbinders oval, diamonds stickles, pearls,

Katie's Flower

This is for one of my son's friends who is so talented, effervescent, just a joy to be around that when I think of Katie this is exactly what I think of. She brings light and happiness where ever she goes. Drunken stampers challenge this week is to use bling and colouring. I love both! Whimsy is sponsoring a monthly challenge and its to do a summer card with an option of bugs; butterflies are gorgeous bugs, lol.
