My card base is light aqua and the sun and hill both started as white card stock. Along the top and sides of the card base, I sponged turquoise and blue to give the look of the sky just starting to lighten at sunrise, with that lighter glow around the sun.
The sun is Spellbinders lotus pendant die. To make it easy to release the card stock from the die, I used wax paper between the die and card stock. I then added mustard seed and spiced marmalade distress inks to the sun with a sponge applicator.
For the snowy hill, I cut a curve freehand and then embossed the piece with musical flourish embossing folder from Provo Craft. I added light aqua ink to highlight the raised embossing.
I glued on the sun and hill, and trimmed off the excess hanging over the edge. The sentiment (SU) is stamped in jet black archival ink.
Some of the products used can be found at Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium.
I want to wish you all a Happy New Year, and, as the sentiment inside my card says, "
May
God
bless
this trip
around
the sun
with
joy and
many
amazing
moments.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.
