You Are My Sunshine

Here’s my card for this week’s Muse challenge. I took my inspiration from the two circles on the layout and switched them from elegant rosettes to a whimsical sun and felt clouds.

I made the sun by layering an orange gingham circle on a golden yellow pinking edged circle die cut. The pinked edge replaces the dimension of the rosette’s folds. I arranged a pair of die cut white felt clouds overlapping the sun (and found that my Lil’ Inker cloud die is missing—hopefully it will reappear when I clean up my stamping space a little!).

I stamped the “you are my sunshine” sentiment from the Waltzingmouse Stamps Half Pint Heroes stamp set on a pale blue strip in a slightly darker shade of blue ink, then adhered it to the card overlapping the sun. A few iridescent sequins scattered around the sun and clouds finish off the cheery design.
