Less is More - Sunshine

Hi all, I've made a couple of card for this week's Less is Morehttp://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/ challenge, I've been ruminating on the theme all week 'Sunshine' and had a dig through my box of neglected stamps. I came across a couple of sets I bought 5 years ago, but have only used once! They work in tandem together and are by Darcy Heater - they are called My Sunshine and Raindrop Kisses.

For my first card I used this sweet image of a little girl, and coloured her with Staedtler colour pencils. I stamped the sun directly onto the card base, as I did with the clouds (which I masked) and the puddle and raindrops. They are also coloured with the same pencils. I then mounted the little girl onto some foam pads and attached.

 Inside, I stamped the sentiment from Raindrop Kisses, and the little sun and puddle. They are also coloured with the pencils.

For my second card I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder, brayered with Distress inks for a letterpress effect.

 I cut a matt gold frame, and layered over the top of the panel, and attached to the card base.
 I stamped the sentiment from the same sets, and added some orange gems.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Pauline
