You Are My Sunshine

Stamps: Stampavie 'Giving Shelter', MSE 'Little Birdie' sentiment. Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, Glossy White, Papertrey white, Basic Grey 'Lemonade'. Ink: Memento black, Copics, Rich Razzleberry. Accessories: Basic Grey 'Lemonade' brads, Circle Nestabilities.

Sometimes we need a little extra sunshine in our lives, don't we? Friends can definitely provide a little brightness on those not-quite-so-perfect days.

Sketchers week #64 inspired this sketch; I'm easily amused because I appreciate how the circle theme is echoed in the image and sketch layers.

This card also showcases a new technique I learned during a techniques class held at the Inkspot in St. Louis. It's my favorite type of technique -- easy, but a high 'Wow' factor! The full photo tutorial is over on the KLSNS blog, so let me know if I made it as easy to follow as it is to do the technique in person.
