This card is based on the week 2 sketch for the VLV July challenge. I was inspired by the quote from Text Objects to incorporate a sun on my card.
The sun is a daffodil scalloped circle, sponged in daff, then a textured barely banana circle embossed in swiss dots and sponged with daff. The rays are an ef from Sizzix which I sponged in banana and daffodil.
The other blocks are papers from the DCWV Spring stack. The edges are stamped with the stitched line from the Text Objects set. (I recommend doing this BEFORE adhering the panels to your card, unlike me!)
That cute kite is not in the set exactly. I bent the clear stitched line stamp and stamped it 2x then freehand cut a kite. It's matted on black and one side is cut slightly wider than the other for shadow effect. The tail bows are created from the small sails on the Text Objects sailboat.
This is also for the F4A72 challenge, summertime. Love the sun and flying kites in the good ole summertime!
