Hey, Sunshine

I took the dogs for a walk this morning and we got *poured* on just at the very end--two more minutes and we would have made it home without getting soaked.  And this is kinda what it looks like outside right now:


So I guess I'll have to go running after all.  :p  Anyway, my celestial card colors are courtesy of the Color Throwdown: 


I love bright colors.  I used Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, and Pacific Point, set off with a healthy dose of Basic Black.  You can't tell from the picture, but I used Shimmery White cardstock so the sun has a subtle sheen goin' on that's very pretty IRL.  And I used the sketch from the Paper Players: 


I actually wanted to use it for my Friday Flashback post this week since I know what stamp set it's going to be, but I just couldn't wait that long :D

Time to get my running shoes on.  Enjoy the sunshine, peeps!

Ink:  Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point

    I really like that sun, too. It reminds me of Sunday Morning on CBS, the TV show. In between segments, they have a different sun with a face. So cool. Great colors.
