A big Congrats to our newest Featured Stamper (FS43, Melissa! She has such a lovely gallery and I couldn't decide between THIS & THIS so I combined them. I used the same layout, but different images, different colors and added a layer & an umbrella.
I started by making 2 water color backgrounds w/ Brushos crystals. I wet the corners pretty heavily, sprinkled on lemon, yellow, orange & vermillion Brushos then spread it a little w/ a water brush. I stamped the sun in the corner & used a white gel pen to add a little brightness to the rays. A die cut Hello & a stamped Sunshine along w/ a die cut umbrella and some clouds were added on top. The larger w/c bg was die cut w/ the Sunburst pattern die & I added a black & white gemstone to the upper right corner.
Congrats again, Melissa! Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff
