Mr. Sunshine for CCM312

It's hard to believe yet another week has flown by!  It's Thursday already and I still feel like it's only Monday!  But since it really is Thursday, I have a card to share for this week's color challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  First, here are the colors we have to work with.

I love these colors together, so beautiful!  I wanted to use Ray of Sunshine since it's my set for this week's Summer Collection project.   I needed a little inspiration, so I went back and looked at past Create with Connie and Mary sketches.  Here's what I ended up making.

The Moonlight DSP has all three colors, so I chose this layout to incorporate the paper.  I started out with a Blackberry Bliss card base embossed with the Large Polka Dot EF.  The Designer Series Paper strips went next.  Since Sahara Sand is a great neutral color, I used it for the sentiment which I stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink.

The sun was so fun to make, the Moonlight DSP came in handy for him too!  I used a great Hello Honey striped pattern and the Banner Punch for the rays.  The sun is a circle of Hello Honey cardstock that I punched with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch.  I stamped the face with Blackberry Bliss ink, I love the bold look!  I added him to the card with dimensionals so he could pop up a bit.  I meant to add a few sequins around the card, but totally forgot!  I was so happy with how Mr. Sun turned out, that the sequins never made it on the card...oh well, it happens!
