Hello ... Hello ...
It's time for another fun challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters!
I'm thrilled to be today's hostess and hope you'll come join in today's challenge fun!
Our theme today is:
BRING ON THE HEAT
(card/project with a SUN on it)
Here's what I came up with and LOVED creating it.
This is about as easy a card creation and you can get! Here's the process I used:
Using Tim Holtz distress Inks and large sponge daubers, sponge on the colors you'd see on a beach (sand, water, sky). Stamp my images ... create a SUN using a large marshmallow looking sponge dauber and yellow ink. Add a couple pieces of yellow gingham ribbon to the corners ... make a bow with my bow easy ...attach with glue dots and VIOLA!! Card front is ready to mat and attach to the base card.
See ... told you it was quick & easy!! Try it ...
This is about as CAS as I can get!!
Recipe for my card:
Papers: White cs, SU Yellow cs
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Antique Linen (sand), Stormy Sky (water), Broken China (sky), Memento ME-100 Dandelion (sun), Versafine Onyx
Stamps: SU Seaside Sketches (retired), Stampscapes Gulls (302A)
Accessories: Sponge daubers, Marshmallow dauber (kids crafts at Jo-Anns), Michael's yellow gingham ribbon, Bow Easy

At the 11th hour I decided to make another sample card for today's challenge and went in search of an image/stamp that had a sun on it. I came up with this fabulous stamp from the Our Daily Bread 'The Mighty Sea' stamp set and got busy coloring.
