Hello Sunshine

The theme for the current Lawn Fawnatics challenge is "bring it back."  For my card, I brought back two oldies but goodies--Lawn Fawn's Spring Showers dies and a button.  I used to use buttons on my cards all the time, but it's something I haven't done in a while.

My sky background was created with some watered down distress inks pressed on to a watercolor paper panel.  While the panel dried, I made my die cuts to fill out the sky.  Button suns were something I used to add to my cards a lot, so I did that here, making a button the center of the yellow sun made with one of the Spring Showers dies.  The button was threaded with a bit of yellow baker's twine that I tied in a bow before putting the button on to the die cut.  I placed the sun onto the watercolor background, then added a pair of shimmery white die cut clouds using foam tape for dimension.  The "hello sunshine" sentiment from the coordinating Hello Sunshine stamp set was stamped beneath the clouds in darker blue ink.  I arranged a trio of white glitter enamel dots around the clouds and sun as an accent.  The finished panel was adhered to a teal card base.
