I got this little idea and just had to try it. I'm not sure what triggered it either, but it was fun to play around and see how it worked. It's a fun no-reason-at-all or thinking-of-you type of card. I used a sentiment from the Think Big Favorites series by Papertrey Ink.
I stamped a vertical column of the word "hello", selectively inking the stamp to use just that portion. I swiped a marker across each word in the colors of the rainbow and then trimmed the piece down to place on a Brilliant Blue piece that had been embossed with clouds.
I cut a Yoyo Yellow circle and inverted scallop circle for my sun, and then stamped the word "sunshine" in place. (again, selectively inking the stamp) I adhered it in the lower right corner and trimmed off the excess. Once together, the whole thing was glued to a white card base.
Simple and quite cheerful! Just right for sending a bit of sunshine to someone's mailbox.
