I think I am liking this technique a LOT! Of course it helps that all is quiet in the house...DH is at volleyball practice...no little's coming over to see Grandma...so that means I just get to play and get inky and let my mind roam...so I saw the sentiment from Half & Half ( I Often think of you and hope sunshine is shining upon you) so that thought took me to: SUNSHINE! ...oh, the Back pocket basics has a sun shine...oh and..the Nativity Silhouettes Addition has a sunshine...let's see where this takes me...so I pulled out some Lemon Tart paper (I am loving this color)...and the new "kraft" ink cube that I bought and soon will be ordering the full size pad because I adore this color and know I will be using it a lot! I stamped the sentiment and then I found a pen that would work...was thinking to myself...wouldn't it be great to have a "kraft" color ink pen!! but what I had that wasn't black, white or silver, was a Staedtler triplus fineliner and it was a brown color! So I carefully lined up my "metal straight edge" (I remembered!) and drew my lines. Then I laid down some eclipse masking tape and stamped the sunshine (sunrise) stamp from the Nativity Silhouette Addition with summer sunrise ink. I took a strip of kraft paper and stamped an image from Asian Fusion with summer sunrise ink and added a strip of the heart border die also in the summer sunrise paper. I really like this card. Hope you enjoy it also!

Stunning Colleen. Those rays are just gorgeous! And the stamps on the side are lovely too. The heart border goes perfectly again!
I love this technique with the sunburst - and the sentiment is perfect!
Beautiful card Colleen. Your color choices have me wanting to order the Kraft ink.
Colleen this is such a happy bright card, well done. Boy do I know what you mean about the grandkids coming over , love it but when DH is gone, it sure is fun to just craft alone. Love the hearts you added to this one.
Okay this one is just as beautiful!!!
Wonderful card. I love how you have put all the sunshine elements together. It looks really great. Congrats on your shout out for your first card. I have kraft ink coming to me this afternoon, and I know I will love it. So exciting.
LOVE all of your MIM entries,Colleen! Each one is unique and really shows off this technique (I agree, I'm liking this one a lot :)
