Wishing you brighter days

Hey everybody! Happy Weekend – I hope you have something fun planned and your weather is most excellent! Our new challenge over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog launched this morning and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #74 – Anything Goes + optional Paper Piecing! As you know, our challenges are always ‘anything goes’ and the technique twist is always optional and not required to play. Come join in and just do what makes your heart happy! I reached for the Stampin’ Up Beautiful You stamp set once again for this technique because it spoke to me. A beautiful CAS design to let someone know they are thought of.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base and a long narrow strip from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock. I applied MAMBI skinny blue washi tape to the strip and adhered it to the left side of the card base. I stamped an image and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Beautiful You stamp set. I then stamped the umbrella on a yellow print and the lady on a blue print in the Spellbinders Flea Market Finds Petite Patterns 6×9 papers which I fussy cut and adhered to the main image on the card base. I used a couple Tombow dual ended markers to color her hair and shoes, and added several yellow gemstones which completed the card front.

I kept the inside clean and simple also, adhering a narrow strip with MAMBI skinny blue washi tape across the top and stamping a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up And Many More stamp set.
