Cards on Wednesday | Sunny & Bright

Hi Lily Bee fans! This weeks focus on is all about having fun in the sun, something I hope to be doing with my little ones later this afternoon, if the weather permits. Today, I have three sunny and bright cards I created to go along with this weeks focus on theme.

For each card, I used my Cameo die-cutting machine and embossing folders to add additional texture and depth to the cards background. My color scheme here is yellow and I used plenty of it for each card with touches of gray, black, greens and blues.

My first card, "Fun in the Sun" uses papers and embellishments from the Pinwheel collection. I love how the green text and grey floral patterns add a subtle touch the bright yellow and how it all pops. Kept it simple with little touches of chipboard and chit chat stickers for more depth.

Supplies: Pinwheel(Lime Rickey, Flip-Flops, Chipboard Stickers, Chit Chat Stickers)

The second card, "Hello Sunshine", was created using only papers from the Destination collection. This cards was kept simple with little touches of embellishments to compliment the bold mix of geometric shapes.

Supplies: Destination(Atlas, Port)

Lastly, my "Hello, You Are Sweet" card showcases goodies from the Sweet Shoppe collection. I adore how big and bold the sunshine anchors atop of the card. It pops nicely against the zig-zag black pattern and polka dot backgrounds. Very simple and striking at the same time.

Supplies: Sweet Shoppe (Lemon Drop, 6x6 Tiny Tablet, Chipboard Stickers)

Thanks so much for hanging out with me today. I really enjoyed making these cards and hope they inspire you to add a little more sunshine to your next card project. Cheers!
