Hello Sunshine

Here's my take on the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I used mostly dies to put this cheery design together.   When I saw the layout, I envisioned a sun with clouds, so I built the design on a light blue card base.  The sun is made from a yellow pinking circle die cut with a slightly smaller yellow gingham stitched circle die cut in the middle.  I used Lawn Fawn's Spring Showers dies to cut a pair of shimmery white clouds to go with the sun.  They were adhered to the cardfront using foam tape.  For the sentiment, I used the new Hello Border die, cut from teal cardstock and placed across the sun, and the "sunshine" sentiment from the Rain or Shine Before 'n Afters stamp set, stamped in teal and heat embossed with clear to set the text.  I may go back and add a few sequin or enamel dot accents--what do you think?
