You Are My Sunshine

Happy Saturday, peeps! I have a quick card to post before my stampers get here this morning!  It fulfills three challenges: TGIF is looking for a pocket full of posies; As You See It wants to know what  color I use the least is; and CAS on Sunday wants sunshine!


So here we go:


I knew right away I would choose yellow as my least-used color! It's not that I dislike it, I just don't gravitate towards it very often.  And that fit in perfectly with a sunshine theme!  And I admit that when I looked at the TGIF challenge, I missed the "posies" part of it, but perhaps my little image on my tag could be a sunflower?!  The sentiment is from the retired Ridiculously Awesome set, stamped in Daffodil Delight on Lemon Lolly cardstock:


I created a pocket with one of the Timeless Tag dies, stamped a sentiment from a past Paper Pumpkin on the front and added some yellow embellishments:


I then added a tag to tuck into the pocket, using the same Paper Pumpkin set to stamp the sunshine-shaped flower and added a gingham center.  The sentiment is from a Paper Studio set.


I also embossed the front with the Stitched With Whimsy die for fun.  My friend just went through some surgery, so this is going to her to cheer her up!

Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

I always had you pegged as something of a sunshine girl, so it was surprising to hear yellow is a colour you don't use much! This has turned out to be a very cheery card - just great for a friend. Thanks for playing along with us again at As You See It. :-0

Beautiful, LeAnne! I especially love your pocket posy!! So cute! I wouldn't have pegged you as a "yellow" avoider either, but we all have our surprises! Thanks for playing along with As You See It this week.

Bright and happy card LeAnne! The best part of this challenge has been seeing what everyone rarely uses! You really should use yellow more often as you did great with this one! Thanks for joining us at As You See It!
