Welcome to InKing Royalty's June Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs - this month's song is "Here Comes the Sun." As you can guess, our Blog Hop today is filled with projects that are inspired by the joy of the summer sun. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Here's a positive, sunny card for a friend who was recently diagnosed with Glioblastoma. She is strong and always positive. It is always hard to make cards for these occasions, but this is when we need to make them the most. She happens to also love my cards, always has such high praise for each one she sees. I wanted to make a special card for her.
This is the first time I've had the chance to play with Beautiful You. I sure love the images from this set! Grounded her with the Celebrate You thinlits (layered the Crushed Curry with slightly offset black cardstock), and made sure to include a pretty sun in Pineapple Punch and Crushed Curry using a framelit from Thrill Ride. Color is a bit wonky on my screen, but that outfit is paper pieced Melon Mambo. I added a few polka dots with a white pen for fun. Colored her limbs with Ivory Stampin' Blends. Topped the sun and words with clear Wink of Stella.
I hope you'll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Sue Jackson at Just Peachy Stamping.

Great card, Sheryl! I know your friend will love it. I was scanning through your post to find what DSP you used on her dress - excited to find you added the dots with a gel pen. Smart! Love it! I'm so glad you hopped with us today!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brian! I didn't have any current DSP with small print, hence the dots on the fussy cut Melon Mambo for a fun addition. Enjoyed this hop, so many wonderful creations!
DeleteI love the bold colors and simplicity of your fun card!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robin!
DeleteBeautiful card, Sheryl! Love the shadow you created with the Celebrate You thinlits!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie! Thought of layering black at the last minute!
DeleteSo much fun! I want to be that lady on the card!
ReplyDeleteShe does look like she's basking in the sunshine!
DeleteSimply amazing card. I'm sure your friend will love the sunny and hopeful theme of your card. Prayers for her during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sue. Prayers are greatly appreciated. ♥
