Sending Sunshine

Evening all.
Well the sun is out at last. The day started off a little damp and cold but is ending on a high.
It's also highly appropriate that Less is More's latest challenge is - Hello Sunchine!
Here is a little card I made earlier when it wasn't sunny.


I should have taken the photo a little earlier when the sun was in, as its made it a bit tricky to photograph, all the gold and shimmer is catching the light, so apologies for the picture quality.
I used my MFT Sunray plate die for the sun and mounted it below a frame cut made by extending a square die. The card has a subtle linen effect that the sun has bleached out in the photo. The sun was cut from some satin yellow card and the background panel is some textured gold card I've had for over 10 years, I'd saved it 'cos it was too special to use but hey, you've got to bite the bullet sometime!
The greeting is from Personnel Impressions and sequins and beads (gold) are from the stash. These were given to me by my late Aunt who used to sew ballroom dance dresses for my cousin Helen and I used them for my daughters dancing costumes far too long ago to think about! Talk about hoarding!
Any way, that's about it for today, hubby is out playing with his toys and today at Chelsea (flower show) is starting soon so better get a wriggle on!

STAMPlorations April Blog Hop day 4

Welcome to day 4 of the April Blog Hop to celebrate the launch of these new stamps


Today we are focusing on -
HeavenSent-preview

Aren't the images just too cute?
Here is my card using the teddy and some of the words. It's up to you how you put the phrases together as they mix an match.


I used a pretty yellow colour scheme so it could be for either a boy or a girl. 
I started by cutting the panel using my MFT Sun Ray die in white then again in an assortment of yellow DPs from the scrap box. I then reassembled the diecuts and glued them onto a yellow base card. The teddy was stamped and then coloured with Copics and die cut using a MFT stitched circle and mounted on a Spellbinders Lacey Circle in white. The greeting was stamped along one of the rays in black. Voila!
