We are back with our next fab challenge over at Time Out....are you ready to be inspired by words? Here is our inspiration phrase:
Happy is the bride that the sun shines on
As we are heading in to the warmer summer months (apparently) it is time to look forward to wedding season and balmy sunny days. You can use all of the phrase or any part of it to inspire your design. For my card I focused on the sunshine rather than the bride :)
I used a stencil from Clarity and inked through with Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade distress inks. The sentiment is a combination of a Mama Elephant die and Papertrey Ink.
Head on over to the Time Out blog to see what the talented DT have come up with. We are joined this week by the lovely Sue from Sue's Card Craft as our GD for this challenge. There is a lot of great inspiration over at Sue's blog - it is well worth a visit :)
I look forward to seeing how you are inspired by the phrase!
I will also link up at Less is More where we are using sunset colours. I hope my oranges and yellows have enough sunset in them :)
Thanks as always for stopping by,

Wow! Amazing card, the colours are so cheerful.

I'm smiling, Sarah ... not just because your card is so sunny and gorgeous, with yummy detailing ... also because we were both inspired by the same words this week! Great minds, perhaps?! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, fun and fabulous Sarah.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw it I thought YEP! She needs to get that one over to LIM!
And I'm thrilled you've done that - thanks so much it's just beautiful.
Sarah, Less is More.
Just perfect Sarah. I adore the burst of sunshine, just like our day today!
ReplyDeleteLove the movement this card has from the sun to the sentiment to the enamel dots. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour sunburst is really beautiful, Sarah! I love how you blended inks toward the center of the sun, and your sentiment is perfect! I hope to play along again!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunbeams; love the sponging! Just what we all like such a sunny card! Enjoy the weekend!
