Sun? Sounds like fun!

Jen, my kind & talented blog pal, is on the design team for a brand new challenge: CASology. Each week we'll be prompted with a single word. Now, you KNOW I'm not generally a Clean and Simple kind of girl, but I like to play around & learn new things, so I gave it a shot.

Supplies: orange cardstock, yellow & white buttons from stash;
heart button from Dress it Up;
sun stamp from Imaginisce;
sentiment from Studio G;
Palette Noir ink; Mod Podge Dimensional Magic

OK, so, there's a lot going on here. I don't know that it's really CAS, but it's a process, right?

I stamped & coloured the sun & sentiment, and then used a toothpick to carefully paint the Dimensional Magic on the sun & inside the letters. When it was dry, I was a little stumped. I knew I wanted to stay with no patterned paper (and if you know me, you know how painful that was!). Rather than cut out the image & adding layers, I decided to create a button frame so that I could keep the look of the white space. At the last minute I thought the heart button would add just the right pop of red - and it creates a visual triangle with the heart-dotted 'i' and the bottom of the word 'sunshine', which is coloured with a red/orange/yellow gradient. 

Remember, I've had lots of Benadryl, so forgive me for not explaining too clearly! 

Here's this week's cue card- you have until Sunday at noon to link up your creation inspired by this:

Take a look & see how many awesome creations are already linked up - more than 50, and this is their first week! Woohoo!
