Sending Some STAMPtember® Sunshine :-)

Hi all :-) I hope all is well and the sun is shining wherever you are :-)

I actually made this for a DT card for a challenge next week ,,, but I love it so much I couldn't wait to share !! :-)

I love this new Simon Says STAMPtember® release Full Card Sunshine die and knew it would be perfect for a special blog buddy who is going through a pretty tough time right now.

I cut the sunshine out of the front of the card and then inked a slightly smaller piece of watercolor paper with distress inks, sprayed with Studio Calico Shine and popped it on the inside. I love the colours don't you ? :-)

I printed the sentiment on the Silhouette Cameo and coloured with Distress Markers.

Thanks for looking :-) I hope she likes it ! :-)

BTW There is a whole month of activities, blog hops and inspiration on the Simon Says Stamp Blog for the annual STAMPtember® event :-) Lots of give aways too ,,,, don't miss it :-)

I used a Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes Embossing Folder

I am not overly fond of the hearts on the wings, but I had stamped red stars on them and Amy said it looked like a WW2 plane, and she was right so I covered them up , haha :-) I thought the cityscape looked a bit like NYC so I popped a yellow cab on there ,,,,
