Wishing You Sunshine card

Hello! Today I’m sharing a sunny card with you, as a part of the Verve Card Challenge! The challenge is to use “TIC TAC TOE” as the inspiration for your card. So, x’s and o’s, hugs and kisses, grids or circles.

So I pulled out my absolutely FAVORITE Verve stamp set, called “Let It Shine” and put together this tic-tac-toe inspired card:

My nod to the theme is the “X” stitching around the embossed cloud paper and the “Os” in the yellow background paper (My Mind’s Eye). Then I adhered the little sunshines in a grid or “tic-tac-toe” arrangement.

Aren’t those little suns adorable?! I love the sentiment too: Wishing You Sunny Days. Now doesn’t that just sound like me? (I have to admit, I was a little excited to find this stamp set.)

I used Inktense watercolor pencils to color in those suns. And added dots around the sentiment tag to imitate the clouds.

That chevron ribbon paper matches the thread almost exactly (I promise)…even though it looks a little darker in these photos.

I used pop dots to add dimension to the suns and the sentiment. Tic-tac-toe three in a row means you win, right?! What a cheerful card. See you next time!
