Have a Beautiful Day

Here's my card for the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I represented the abstract shape in the background with a mix of die cut elements from Concord & 9th's Brighter Days and Rainbow Wishes die sets. The clouds were cut from shimmery white cardstock and placed on the light blue card base.  I used cardstock scraps to cut the bands of the rainbow and the sun rays, then arranged them among the clouds. For the sentiment, I stamped the "have a beautiful day" sentiment from C & 9th's Brighter Days stamp set in black ink on a narrow turquoise cardstock strip.  The strip was adhered over the clouds using foam tape for dimension.  A trio of silver sequin "raindrops" scattered beneath the clouds completed the design.
