I don't know about you, but we are deffinately lacking in the "sunshine" department just now! When a glimmer of sun shines through, it's almost instantly draped with the gloomiest of grey clouds. As it's January (and let's face it we probably aren't in for a stream of sunshine any time soon) I thought I'd create a card! A card to spread sunshine and the joy that comes with it.
The leaf stamp was a freebie from the "September 2011" Issue of "Craft Stamper" magazine which I inked with Tim Holtz-Antique Linen. The heart I cut from an embossed piece of cream cardstock using the "Craft Concepts-In Stitches" embossing folder.
The sentiment is a "My Time Made Easy" stamp from the "Sensational Sentiments" set which I inked with Memento-Rich Cocoa to keep the colour scheme neutral. A co-ordinated envelope to finish and voila!
You feeling sunnier now?
Recipe: My Time Made Easy -Sensational Sentiments, Craft Stamper -September free stamp, Memento-Rich Cocoa ink, Tim Holtz-Antique Linen ink, Cream Cardstock, Cardboard.
Tools: Craft Concepts-In Stitches embossing folder.
I had a productive week last week with my new schedule, so here's to another! Have a great week ...

Well seeing this card has certainly brightened my day - love your style Katie, thanks for the sunshine :) xxx
Smashing - the co-ordinating envelope looks just as fab too
Happy Monday

Great card to make us think that spring is around the corner. The weather in the Uk is actually very good for January and there was a fair bit of sun at the weekend too! But winter sun is not the same as summer sun is it and your card is more uplifting than hazing sunshine.
