A Little Sunshine

Yesterday’s card was not part of my #100DayProject, but today’s is. It’s a new technique introduced (to me) on Monday by Papertrey Ink’s Stephanie Gold for their Make It Monday challenge, using outline images.

My card uses two older stamp sets by Papertrey Ink. The first, “Still Life: Summer,” is a Mini Market Kit, and although I’ve used the dies and the patterned papers, I don’t think I’ve ever broken out the stamp set. The other is “ Hello, Sunshine,” a set that’s been idle for a number of years. It’s one of the sets that resurfaced when I reorganized my stamps a few weeks ago.

For the solid image, I used two circles from Simon Says’ “Scribbled Flowers” set. They were stamped in Bright Buttercup, and the outline image in Harvest Gold . I added a few outline leaves from “Still Life: Summer” in Green Parakeet. The sentiment is from “Hello, Sunshine” and seems a perfect fit for the card.

I’m also entering this in the current Time Out challenge. The inspiration for my card actually came from the lemons under the pretty Forsythia bouquet in their inspiration photo.

Although we’re just a few days in, I’m enjoying the #100DayProject. It’s nice to be focusing on a new technique or stamp set each day and not thinking about where it might take you in the end.
