The sun is peeking through

I had just created a card for the Sweet Sunday sketch challenge and was still inspired by my color scheme so I decided to create a second one. I also wanted to see if I could use this for the Moxie Fab Stamp It! Hello card challenge. To see the first one just scroll down to the post before this one. I used a couple of PTI stamps to create this card: Up, Up, & Away (clouds and dies to cut them out), Hello Sunshine (the rays and sentiments). I also used a Hero Arts polka dot background stamp and a banner from a WMS set. I used the sketch from the Sweet Sunday sketch challenge as is this time. I wanted my sentiment to pop so I used shades of greys on everything but the sentiment panel. Vellum stamped with the smaller clouds created the wide strip. The clouds where stamped in white after I die-cutted them to soften the lighter grey some and then embossed with PTI's linen plate. I created my rays by alternating between Scattered Straw and Mustered Seed. Again, I like how the rays look like they are coming out from behind the clouds as it gives me a feeling of hope after a storm. The sentiment was stamped with Wild Honey. I then sponged the sentiment card stock with mustered seend and wild honey to soften it as well as rounded the corners.
