Addicted to CAS #200, hosted by Sue, is "Sun" - very appropriate for a sunny day! Unfortunately large swaths of the US are suffering under record-breaking heat. One of my close friends in Las Vegas reports that she's expecting it to be 115 F by 5:00 today. Those of you on the metric system can do the math - it's significantly higher than 30 C, which I always think of as the level where the temperature starts to become unpleasant.
Every once-in-a-while a card comes so easily that I think there's something wrong. This is one of those times, but rather than second-guess myself I'm just going to put it out there. I thought to combine two challenges - Addicted to CAS and Freshly Made Sketches. I really don't have a stamp with a sun so I made due by using what I think is supposed to be a sort of Renaissance style compass rose from a new to me set - Hero Arts #CM357 from their 45th Anniversary set with throwback images from 1974. I stamped the sun in PTI "Orange Zest" onto a light yellow cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, and then fussy-cut it to eliminate all of the stars between the sun rays that are on the original image.
I love the bright pop of the yellow sun with the blue! Pretty card! Glad you joined us at FMS!
ReplyDeleteJust loving this Fran - and the 70s are such a big trend at the moment so look at you leading the way! Your sunshine is so resourceful and it works perfectly with that style of cloud. Vicky x
