Simon Says Stamp - SUNSHINE Encouragement Card

Hello Lovelies! Not every day can be amazing and the rough times help us learn and appreciate the good times even more. The Sunny Vibes release from Simon Says Stamp has a few things to help us encourage our loved ones when we need to.

This card is full of stenciled Sunshine applied in layers allowing your to contrast the rays with the vibrant sky background. My favorite part might be adding the fluffy clouds with the help of some Texture Paste at the end.

Clouds add a little dimension on this flat card!

Using the Reverse (black) version of the sentiment makes them stand out against the sunny scene.

I love making with stencils as the guide you through creating scenes with little effort!
