Inspired by sunshine

We have been having tons and tons of rain here but yesterday was the first day of summer and in the morning we had lots of sunshine. I guess all that sun the tiny glimpse of sun made me want to work with orange and yellow. Something I never ever do.

I am glad I was inspired before the rain came back as i really like the way this card turned out.

I have not done a long post or a bit of a tutorial in quite some time so I thought I would give it a whirl. First I inked up my new Inspired Stamps stamp set Flowers in some white ink. I love this look.

Then I broke out the embossing stuff. I have not embossed in so long! Can we say fun? I will say it FUN had a blast...not to much of a blast though as I don't want to blow my powder off my project.

Then I inked up a scripture stamp set John 14:6 again in white and added embossing powder.

TIP: I like to hold down my paper with some sort of long object so I don't burn my fingertips when I emboss.

Next up my Copics. I love coloring on color paper it just adds a little more interest to the project.

Once I am done coloring I cut out my flower and move on to some embellishments. This is going to be a sort of paper ribbon so I crinkle it up.

flatten it out and then tear the edge.

Folding it down and securing it. I secured it with staples but you could also sew it or use super strong adhesive. I also added a bauble to the inside of the flower on top of the paper cut circle.
