Sunshine

I got home late tonight from work and had a bunch of things to do, so I had time for just a quick card for today's SCS sketch challenge. I combined the sketch with this week's Unity Addicts Challenge to use a quote or sentiment as the focal image on your project--that helped my card to come together pretty fast.

I picked a quote from the October (2009) Kit of the Month for my focal image. I inked most of it in blue ink, except for the word "sunshine." That single word was inked with an orange marker to stand out from the rest of the quote. I inked around the edges of the panel with a coordinating blue ink, then added a die cut felt sun as a fun embellishment.

I paired the image with papers from two different My Mind's Eye lines. Even though they're from different lines, the color tones worked okay together. A bright satin ribbon tied around the bottom of the card finished it off.

And, speaking of Unity, if you're looking to add some to your collection, be sure to stop by i {heart} papers. Kate has marked down most of her Unity stock, plus hundreds of other products, to make room for the new goodies she'll be ordering at CHA next month.
