Wishing You Sunshine and Cheer

I thought the Sunshine Cheer stamp set from Our Craft Lounge was so cute when I saw it at CHA in January. I got it this week from i {heart} papers and inked it up for this week’s OCL sketch challenge. This was a tough one!

I ended up making a sunny scene that spanned the two panels. The clouds and sun are stamped in black ink on the white panels. I colored the sun with Copic markers and highlighted it with a little gold sparkle using a Spica pen. The clouds were masked with Eclipse tape, then I airbrushed in the sky.

I used two papers from Basic Grey’s Kioshi line for the panels on the cardfront. A piece of pretty yellow/gold crepe ribbon is tied around the cardfront as a simple accent. This ribbon is so pretty with its shimmer and slightly crinkled texture.
