Hello Friends,
Here with a quick card tonight. I made this one for my sister's birthday which is coming up in a couple of weeks. She is a sunshine person and loves being outdoors surfing at the beach. I have done lots of surfing cards for her in the past so I decided to go with sunshine as the theme this year. I am entering this card into a challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon: Challenge #65: Monochromatic Color and Ribbon Theme. You can find the info: HERE. I hope you join all the fun too!
Here is my card:
I might make a second card too because I had an embossing folder set out to use on the yellow cardstock but forgot to do so before assembling my card. I really must start embossing first instead of stamping because I always forget!!!!
I hope each of you have a day filled with sunshine in your hearts! The sun actually made an appearance in Seattle today and I spent a bit of time out in the backyard enjoying it! My son and I also walked to the grocery store this afternoon to soak up even more of it! In Seattle if it is sunny you can pretty much find EVERYONE outside of their homes taking advantage of it! LOL! Especially after all of the overcast and rainy days we have endured the last few months. Happy Friday Night!
P.S. The sun always makes me think of my summer garden and the smell of my roses in full bloom....I always cut some to bring inside and enjoy...here are some pictures from last summer...
