A Little Ray of Sunshine

As the temperatures drop and the nights draw in, I feel a little return to summer is in order so today I have a card that is full of oranges and yellows to share with you.

This was made for the card swap group I am part of; the challenge last month was to make the sentiment the main focus.  I used a layout I enjoyed working with recently but swapped the sentiment to match these bright colours.  The fabulous flowers are from the terrific Flower Shop stamp set, which, of course, has a coordinating punch to make chopping out those flowers a breeze!  I made the leaves using the Bird Builder Punch; I often use this punch to make quick leaves as it's much faster than die-cutting.

Supplies
Stamps: Feel Goods, Flower Shop
Ink: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango
Card: Whisper White, Basic Black, Wild Wasabi
Paper: Polkadot Parade
Other: Pansy punch, Bird Builder punch, Windows Framelits & BigShot, stamp-a-ma-jig

We had drama at Furry Tale HQ last week as Socks finally decided that he could climb a tree.  It didn't take long before he realised that getting down is a lot more complicated than climbing up.  There followed a good ten minutes of him miaowing and yowling, before he eventually thudded down, running into the house at full speed and sleeping off the excitement for the next three hours.  He loves a bit of attention!  Here he is mid-miaow:

I have a very quick card to share with you today but one which I hope will bring a smile to my friend's face.  It uses one of five lovely sentiments from the Feel Goods stamp set.

These Framelits dies were first introduced in a seasonal catalogue last year but proved so popular that they continued right through into the main catalogue and again into this year's.  You can see why as their shape is fabulous.  I've teamed the sentiment with some Rich Razzleberry paper from the Polkadot Parade paper series (included in the buy 3, get 1 free paper offer running at the moment!) and mounted onto Rich Razzleberry and then Basic Black.  The inside mirrors the front as I'm trying to get better at not neglecting my card interiors!  (I always used to leave them to do them at 'some point later'.  However, 'some point later' never really arrived so I'm making a concerted effort to stop doing this!)

Pop back tomorrow for a little competition I thought I'd run!  Hopefully it will be lots of fun and should provide some giggles, just like this cheeky fellow!
