Crazy For Challenges – Monochromatic

This challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges is a Monochromatic Challenge.  I chose yellow with black as my accent color.  The background on the front of the card is done with a stencil and shimmer spray.  The sentiment and diet are from Stamping Up’s Sunshine Sayings and matching die, Sunshine Wishes.  I added rhinestones and metallic stars and a scallop boarder from the Colorful Seasons die.

Inside I used Karen Burniston’s Snowman Twist Circle die to create the sun popping up!  I added sunglass from SU’s  Pocketful of Sunshine die and lot of shimmer 🙂  I repeated some of the accents from the front on the inside.  This is such a fun challenge and I hope you’ll play along!  Hugs, Fran


Let’s Go to the Beach!

It’s dark and dreary here so a sunny card makes my heart happy!  This is Day at the Beach colored with Copic markers and masked all over the place!  I used post it notes to mask off each piece and then colored away – eventually covering most of the images with Crystal Effects.  The die is Sunshine Sayings.  I’ll be adding to the card in the future!  Hugs, Fran

Sunshine Sayings 02

Here’s another Sunshine Sayings bundle card inspired from the catalog.  Using Sahara Sand paper from the Neutral Patterned Paper Pack, this card is soft and sweet.  My biggest addition is the colored pearls.  I used a Copic marker but they can also be colored with a Sharpie marker or any other alcohol marker.  Hugs, Fran

Sunshine Sayings 01

I love the sample in the catalog of Sunshine Sayings!  The bright colors really make me happy – so I cased it.  I used So Saffron for the stamping and Crushed Curry for the die cut flower.  The word was cut out of watercolor paper and then watercolored with Bermuda Bay and an aqua painter.  And of course there had to be bling!  Those sequins really had a nice touch!  Very fun!  Hugs, Fran
