Soaking Up The Sun

Hello.  Welcome.  A hot and sunny day here in Norway and a couple of CAS cards to share before I nip out and catch some rays.  

 Over at CASology they want to see Sunshine.  Well, we got that and here's my take.......

I used Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle die to cut a piece of gold foil and embossed with Sizzix Rays folder.  Rubber Dance is sponsoring CASology this week and I used the beautiful beach babe from Rubber Dance Take The Plunge set.  She's sitting on a sunny knoll.

 Another CAS card, inspired by the Less is More challenge of Splats and the Rubber Dance challenge yummy colours

Well the giraffe escaped to the water hole but this guy was just lion around so I couldn't resist going a bit crazy with the distress inks and giving him a very jazzy look.  The lion and the sentiment are from Rubber Dance African Animals set and the splat is from the Funny Birthday set. I used the stictched rectangle die again to give some interest to the card edge.

    Two creative cards - so clever to use metal foil for the sunshine rays, and I love the jazzy lion. Makes him look so friendly! Fab LIM card :)

    Love your cards, Gail! Such a cool (well, HOT!) background on the beach babe sunshine card! The ink splat stamp you've used on the lion looks so real! I shouldn't be surprised since it's one of my own, but I AM! I didn't realize it was stamped till I read your text below. Duh on me! Anyway - lovely "lion around card" :-) Thank you, darlin'! ♥

    Your lion reminds me of that recent story in the UK news...
    Anyway both projects are lovely and I love your beach with sunrays card.

    Two very different cards but both have great impact. I like the unusual colours for your lion image.
    Thanks for sharing with us.
