Smile it's a beautiful day..................

Morning!

Well, was this fun or what!!!!!  Inspired by the Cards in Envy "it's a heat wave" and the Sweet Stampin "Outdoors" challenges.   I went for hot colours and summer holidays!!!!!!

Ok, I did a step by step for you on this one so lets start with the background -

I've made my usual start with a blank piece of white card and applied some aqua tints in lovely warm colours.  I've faux bleached out a sun and then stamped the sunglasses in perfect medium and then embossed with black embossing powder.  The stamps used are all from Clarity stamp.

Then in comes the scene! I masked off the glasses and stamped the car and caravan with palm trees within the lenses.  I was thinking warm, heat, holidays!!!!!!

I removed some of the colour from the lenses by adding some water with a paint brush and dabbing with a paper towel.  Stamped the sentiment "Smile it's a beautiful day" and added some more birds then added glossy accents to the lenses to make them nice and shiny.

Ta dah!!! I was really pleased with that!

A really fun card to make and a great theme too!

I would like to enter this card in to the Cards in Envy "It's a heat wave" challenge.
