Challenge Me Monday #120

Hello Sunshine!

It's been a busy afternoon in the craft room, can you tell?  Three posts in one day.  Well, it's hot outside and it was a great afternoon to hide in the coolness of the basement in my craft room.  Speaking of hot and sunny, FCCB (http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/search/label/Challenge%20Me%20Monday) had a challenge on their Challenge Me Monday section that was right up my alley.  The challenge was to use a yellow sun on your creation. 

I love this background paper... I've had it in my stash for probably 3 years and I've been waiting on somewhere just fabulous to use it, and this seemed perfect.  Plus I could use my Pink By Design stamps.  The stamp had a sun on it, so I masked that off in order to just have the sentiment.  Masking off part of your stamp design is a perfect way to use your stamps in different ways.  AND I used my Tim Holtz distress inks (summer collection) to ink the white card base border and the white border under the sun to make the "mat" for the card and the sun.  Love the versatility that the Tim Holtz inks provide.

Thanks for looking, stay cool in the heat (if you are hot like we are in KS).  Have a great evening!

Hugs,
