Wishing You a Bright Day!

When it rains, it pours. One after anther my boys have been so sick all week last week...and then Monday I finally succumbed. I needed to get crafty and cheer up, because there's nothing like glitter and stamping to make your day better.

Luckily, I had this adorable sketch from Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge for inspiration! I hopped over to the Runway Inspired Challenge for an awesome color cue, and this card practically made itself. I loved the wispy, whimsical lines of the print on the Jenny Packham gown, so I stamped the background of my card base with yellow stitch lines. Then I swiped the background with Sky ink direct to paper and brushed on black ink using a handy fan brush.

I had some cork stickers on my tabletop, including this super cute camera icon. I've wanted to use it for a while, but the cork wasn't working with my colors, so I coated it in Turquoise Stickles with a few silver glitter gel accents. I added a flash using the sunshine from Rain or Shine and topped it with a Sorbet Puffy heart sticker that I colored with a black alcohol marker.

I hope this brings a little sunshine to your day, just like making it did for me!
