I wasn't sure if I was going to make it on time to participate in the challenges this week. My card has been percolating in my brain since I saw the beautiful card Ardyth Percy-Robb created for this week's Muse Challenge. Then when I saw the CASology cue card (hope) I felt that the sentiment for my card fit the theme perfectly! I was inspired by the layout/sketch of Ardyth's card and ran with that. I created a negative mask to sponge my clouds and then masked them off to stamp the sun. The senitment is from a Hero Arts set; the clouds are a Memory Box die and the sun stamp is from a Lawn Fawn set. I am really pleased with the result. Thank you Ardyth for the inspiration. Thanks for looking.
Happy Stamping,
Meg
LOVE this idea - the sponging (which is what I wanted to do on mine, but ended up with a panel due to a sponge-malfunction! lol!) is so clean and I love the sun peeking out behind! I'm so glad you played along with Muse and CASology this week!
