These aren't the sort of stamps I normally go for but there's just something about them that I love. I was really pleased when I saw that I had them to make samples with for HSE 24. The first thing I did was find out that the words meant "After the rain comes the sunshine".
I suppose it's a bit like the English "Every cloud has a silver lining".
I decided to focus on the sun and make it a big, bright one! I used Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed Distress Ink pads to create it and Tumbled Glass for the sky. The corners are Spellbinders Persian Accents.
I also made a dinky little gatefold card. It measures 5' x 5"when it's closed. One of the Persian Motifs dies was perfect for a big sun on the front of the card.
Inside I made a bright Summery scene to go with the characters. When I'd finished I thought it would be perfect for my blog header as it makes me smile whenever I look at it. I'd like to be there with them. Luckily I hadn't folded it so I was able to get a photo of it without the creases.
You know I love your cards Lynne and they still look amazing! Even better all together! One day I will have to get you to show me how you do your sky with the fluffy clouds! Just lovely! X
