Sunny Days


After rain and grey skies I felt that I should make my own sunny day -  so a bright sunny background using Distress inks.  The Cone flowers were coloured and fussy cut and then attached with 3D foam and  I've used some artistic licence with the stems.  The  sentiment is PaperArtsy.

A short post today, I always seem to be running out of time these days.
Have a great day whatever you're doing.

I don't know how many times I've read similar Avril, I think we are all retreating to our craft rooms to create our own Summer. And your creation certainly does say summer days, lovely Coneflowers and what a super sentiment as well.

Y'all have really had the clouds and rain over there! Even where I live, we've gotten more than usual but now it's life in an oven since it's almost July. I guess June's been cool for us because the sudden heat wave took everyone by surprise, lol. Your tag is so pretty and summery. Glad you could at least replicate some sunny weather! xoxox

Wow, I love your sunny days project! After a week of lovely sunshine we have grey clouds and rain so this is just the thing to cheer me up 😁. The colours of the background and the way you have blended them is just stunning - I love it! That's a fabulous sentiment too, soo true! Happy and creative wishes! Jo x

I love this, Avril - so simple but so very, very effective. That flower is one of my favourites.

Absolutely love this - the bold colour shift in the background and those wonderful cone flowers, and great words too.

Well, we had some sunny days and then it turned into a sultry grey skies effort today complete with thunder and lightning this evening which is most unusual for here so I have really enjoyed these sunny flowers!
