For this week's WTUI challenge ~ Let The Sun Shine
I took watercolour paper, misted it and washed over it with yellow Twinkling H2Os. Then I used orange and yellow Gelatos on the TH sunshine ef and used that to stamp the watercolour paper while it was still wet.
I added a picket fence and some torn and diecut grass along the bottom.
Henry is coloured with pencils, then I added Stickles around the sunshine part of the base and on the diecut grass. I found a lovely chipboard cloud (thank you, Robin!) which was just the right colour and in keeping with Henry's neckerchief. But that meant that when I was going to stamp a sentiment as well, there wasn't anywhere to put it that didn't make the card too crowded, and I liked the cloud so I kept it .

Sabrina, this is fabulous in every detail - I had to study it for while - my favourite element is the pretty dp you used for the grass/ground - love that! It's sunny, fun and very creatively done. Thinking of you today, I hope you two have a wonderful anniversary - sending big hugs to both of you!
