Rays of sunshine can take on many forms. Like my little boys, my husband, my family. Like new puppies, or a nice gesture by a complete stranger, a comment left on my blog or forgiveness for an honest mistake. It can be a hug from a grandparent, or a good meal shared over raspberry lemonade with a good friend. What's your ray of sunshine?
Just a quick card using two Practicing Creativity Design sets-You're Dandy and The Whole Cycle. I created a mini field of flowers with the tire and spoke stamps, and used the wagon wheel for the stems.
Supplies Used: Cardstock: (Lime Green) Recollections (White) Georgia Pacific Stamps: (The Whole Cycle, You're Dandy) Practicing Creativity Designs (Hello from Mega Mixed Messages) PTI Ink: (Blue, Purple, Green Chalk Ink) Colorbox Ribbon: (Black Twill) May Arts (which can be purchased at the Practicing Creativity Designs store too!) Other: (Black Marker) Pilot, Thread Tool: (Corner Round Punch) Fiskars
