Sunny Days to Come!

Hello everyone!  I hope you are doing well and enjoying the beautiful colors of Fall!  They may already have peaked where you live, but here in the Deep South we are still in the very beginning stages if there's color yet at all.  Fall Foliage Map 2025

We did witness the most beautiful rainbow a few evenings ago when we were coming home from dinner at a local restaurant.  It was one of the biggest, brightest, most vibrant rainbows I've ever seen (the photo does not do it justice!), and the skies behind us were an incredible, intense yellow gold.  I have never seen a sky glow quite like that!   


I wanted to make a card that would reflect the look and feeling of that "Sunny Day."  (The original idea was to make get well cards for two of our nephews who were each in the hospital recently...but that little hint of pink in this lovely background paper got me side-tracked so I might need to revisit that intention!)


I stamped the Sunny Days sentiment directly onto a scrap of paper from our Coffee or Tea pad.  The daisy pitcher was stamped and colored with Copic markers and accented with Wink of Stella.  To tie everything together, I splattered it all with diluted distress oxide inks in hues of gold and pink, and then again with diluted white acrylic paint.  


There's a strip of that same paper inside.  I die cut a heart from it and inserted one cut from pink paper into the negative space.  More splatters here too.  

Well, what do you think?  One nephew has a wife and little daughter so maybe I could get away with sending him a card with splashes of pink?!  The other is 14 so it might not work so well there!  ☺️  

Stay golden!
