Now, let's take a look at the colors for this week's challenge.
What great bold colors for summertime! So, what better set to use than a summery set like Ray of Sunshine.
I went with a flip card, the sun fits perfectly in the Circle Flip Thinlet!
I haven't used my flip thinlets in awhile, I forgot how cool they are to work with! To start out, I used Bermuda Bay as my base, perfect for a sky background! I added in another layer of Bermuda Bay that I embossed with the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder. It made me think of sun rays..how perfect!
I used a full half sheet of card stock so my flip card would have the extra flap for writing on. I added the embossed stripes in the center of the card, but went with Whisper White for the side flap.
The sun for the front of the card was so fun to put together. Real Red and Crushed Curry go beautifully together...perfect for this sun! The face was stamped on Crushed Curry and punched with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch. Next, I stamped the striped sun rays on Crushed Curry and punched them out with the Banner Punch. I also punched red banners that I tucked in behind the stamped ones. I did have to trim down my banners a little so the sun would fit in the center and let the card open properly.
I used the same colors, Real Red on Crushed Curry to do the sentiment on the inside circle. Lastly, I added in small stars with Rhinestones colored with Daffodil Delight Blendabilities. They are sprinkled around the card and go perfectly with the sunshine design.
I hope you have enjoyed my sunshine card! Now, just head over to
