Sun Rays on Aqua with Muted Teal

For today's challenge on Nichole Heady's blog Capture the Moment, we were asked to use one of the featured PTI stamp sets from 2012, or to draw inspiration from any of the projects she highlighted. I don't have those sets, but I do have the "hello sunshine" dies, perfect for the inspiration I chose. It's this card by Maile Belles, the 6th "hello sunshine" card shown in Nichole's post today.

I copied Maile's sun panel, except that my sun circle and patterned triangles are die cut instead of stamped. I turned my panel upside down and used deeper colors for my background. The large die cut word completes the sunshine theme. Thank you, Maile and Nichole, for inspiring me to make this!

Card details:

Card stock is Papertrey Ink (PTI) aqua mist, summer sunrise (yellow-orange), and several prints (leaf, polka dot, and bitty dot) from PTI summer sunrise, harvest gold (yellow), orange zest, and ocean tides (muted teal) pattern packs.
Dies are PTI sunshine (word) and hello sunshine.
For the sun's center, I used an EK Success 1" circle punch.

Created for Operation: Quiet Comfort.

Operation: Quiet Comfort

Starting in early 2016, most of my cards are now made for Operation: Quiet Comfort.
As explained on their web site, "Operation Quiet Comfort exists solely for the purpose of honoring and comforting America’s military men and women who become sick and injured while serving in harm’s way. We also provide support to those who care for them. We collect, package and ship supplies for U.S. Military men and women receiving care at medical facilities abroad." These packages also include cards with messages of support and encouragement ... "thinking of you, patriotic, thank you, cheerful cards." I'm happy to have the opportunity to support our troops in this way.

About My Cards and My Blog

Unless noted otherwise, all my cards are A2 size - 4.25 x 5.5" when folded.

I was making cards long before I started stamping, so for my card images, I sometimes will do my own line drawing, then color it with markers. To use it multiple times, I scan it before coloring, then computer-print it. For more on my drawing process, see "How I Draw," and also "Anybody Can Draw."

I use Copic markers (I prefer "original" and also have some of the "sketch" type), Copic multiliner pens, and the Copic airbrush (airbrushing with my markers). See "About My Tools and Materials" for my Copic colors and other tools, materials, supplies and sources. Techniques and materials may also be noted in the blog post.

I will post a few times a month, whenever I have a new card to share. For cards before 2012, the date on the post is the approximate date of the card, not always the posting date. Reference posts like "About My Labels" are filed together as 1973, but are much newer.

See "Blog Help" if you have problems with viewing or printing.

Unless otherwise noted in the blog post, this is my original creative work. All of my cards, drawings and text are copyright, and are shared only for your personal, non-commercial use and enjoyment. Copyright © CPOvermyer 2009-2024.
