Both of today's cards begin with a simple watercolor panel. Here's a tip: Feel like doing something crafty, but not in the mood to make a card? Whip up some background panels that you can pull from for your next project. Watercolor takes some time to dry, so its nice to do that part ahead of time. I used watercolor paper, and some liquid inks + water to add a "blob" of color as a starting point.
Next, I grabbed some inky scraps of paper and stamped the suns and clouds, fussy cut those cuties and assembled my cards. (I also added some colored pencil to the sunshine on the above card.)
Sunshines are such a versatile card making image. They're perfect for almost any occasion, from get well and encouragement cards, birthday, thanks or just a card to say HELLO. Pair these sunshines with any sentiment - I used a couple from the new Happy Mail stamp set, and then finish off with some gems, washi or paint splatters.
Don't be afraid to try some quirky color combinations on cards like this. The sunshine stamps have such fun personality, they play nicely with creative color and mixed media.
