Wishing You Sunshine

Hey, stampers, Anni here!
Hope you are well where ever you are and having a great weekend.
Here is today's card:

I don't know about you but days are grey overhere in Germany at the moment. So I knew I wanted to make a sunny card. The new patterned papers from Create a Smile are just perfect for that theme with all its sunny warm colors mixed with some fresh aqua and turquoise tones. And the new washi tapes go perfectly with them!

• Color and fuzzy cut the fox.
• Paper piece the umbrella and the towel.
• Die cut a piece of cardstock and add some washi tape to create a "ground" for the fox.
• Stamp the sentiment.
• Assemble the card.
• Add some enamel dots.

• I have to be honest: The cute little fox from the set Friends in the Woods is still one of my favorite stamps! I used him a lot so I wanted to dress him up a little to get a different look! I went through my dies and found these cute sun glasses that fit perfectly. So think about combining stamps and dies!
• The patterned paper from Create a Smile is perfect for paper piecing. It is sturdy and very smooth. Some of the colors have a glossy finish (which I love very much) but I was sceptical at first how the stamping will work out. But let me tell you it goes very well and I am very impressed by the quality of the paper. The pattern on the backsides of the papers are very subtle. I like that for paper piecing small areas!
• Tear the washi tape to get an intresting edge!
• Don't forget to use a black pen on the edges of your fuzzy cut pieces to make it look perfect cut.
