You Are Sunlight...

Get ready for an amazing week of Awesome in Autumn! This week we are playing with the Quietfire Design team, and are so excited to play with their amazing images and sentiments. In their beautiful calligraphic style, their quotes and thoughts are the perfect addition to our Dreamweaver designs. Follow along with us, and leave your comments for an opportunity to win one of two wonderful prize packages:

Cock-a-doodle-dooooo!  I love roosters!  I think they're comical to watch as they strut around the yard!  My great-grandmother had several and most of them were mean but there was one in particular that liked to follow my cousins and me around the yard.  He would even let us pet him but there was no way he would let us pick him up!  I miss those summer days of my youth when the world was still so big and something as simple as a rooster following me around a yard was the highlight of my day!  Boy those days are long gone but they are and always will be "sunlight to my heart."

This Dreamweaver Stencil, LG753, Crowing Rooster, brought back so many memories of days spent in the country that I wanted to give my card a country feel.  I had these great papers from Graphic 45's French Country Collection that are perfect for this card.  My card base is Bazzill.  I stamped my Quietfire Design sentiment, You are Sunlight, with Memento Tuxedo Black on Neenah Classic Crest and also used Neenah for my stencil inked with ClearSnap's ColorBox fluid chalk ink pads in Autumn Pastels and Primary Pastels.  The colors were perfect with my patterned papers!  I dabbed on some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen on both my image and my sentiment.  I edged my sentiment with his Aged Mahogany Distress Ink. Once I had most of my pieces rounded on the corners, layered and adhered with Beacon Zip Dry, I added some glue to the sun and then added Art Glitter's Challis UltraFine Opaque Hologram Glitter over the glue for a little added sparkle!  Using pop dots I finished it off by adding my sentiment to the card and for the ultimate country feel, I added three buttons with glue dots.  Very simple, very country, kinda cute!

So here are the others playing along today with awesome inspiration for your viewing pleasure!  Be sure to leave some love to be entered to win one of our prize packs.
