On the first card I randomly cut some scallops into scrap paper then used that as a mask, moving it from section to section to create the cloud bank. I used my finger to create beams of sunlight breaking through the clouds; the sun is on the inside of the card. Random scraps make up the rainbow. I used embossing powder on the sentiment so it would be glossy--think glistening with rain. Not as glossy as I expected but it does pop out. So, I ended up with a lot of rainbow parts so tried another look. The resulting card is more cutesy and whimsical.
The Details: PTI white cardstock, cloud/sun die and sentiment; cardstock scraps for the rainbow, MFT rainbow & cloud die, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Memento Tuxedo Black, London Fog, Dandelion, Brilliance Graphite Black, Hampton Art clear embossing powder

Both cards look good. I like how you made the sunshine shining down. Its good to get messy just hard to remember 'dont touch the card while hands still inky'. I usually leave alittle extra something on every card I make :)
ReplyDeleteLove them both too - the first with the sun shining through is just like real - I really like the softness of the sunburst with the clouds behind. Chantell JAI
