You are the Sunshine in my life Card

Created this card with several things in mind. Wanted to use a sunny sentiment, have the sentiment be the focus & have a sun image so out came an Inkadinkado stamp I had bought some time ago but only used a couple times.

Decided to heat emboss the stamped image using gold embossing powder. Then thought why not mount it on metallic gold foil board but first I scored the metallic gold foil board criss cross to resemble the sun's rays.

The stamped image cardstock is 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" and is a piece of scrap blue cardstock that is double sided and I think it is My Mind's Eye. The metallic gold foil board is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2". The cloud scrapbook paper is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" My Mind's Eye Fly A Kite. The Tim Holtz broken china cardstock is 6" x 6" and compliments the blue in the cloud scrapbook paper. The base of the card is 6" x 6" white cardstock.

Added some gems for a bit of bling.
