Ways to Use Sunny Days



I didn't change anything on this card when I photographed it except the location. The top photo was taken in the light box my husband made and the bottom photo was taken outside. What a difference! (For the record, I did Photoshop both of them, but equally...if that makes sense.) Anyway, I made this card for the Ways to Use it challenge at Splitcoast. Our mission? To make a sunshiny card, using yellow of course. I don't use yellow that often, but I'm thinking I should use it more since it's so appealing. For the fancy corners at the top, I just cut in half a Cuttlebug Vintage corner die. The rest is layers upon layers. It's a sickness...
Have a wonderful day!

  3. Beautiful card. Now I am wondering, though, which one is more "true" to real life, the light box version or the outside version?

  7. This is another gorgeous creation Andrea - just love your style of cards - you seem to have so many punches too! Love the colours and yes you should use yellow more - it works so well with green. Hugs, Claire x

  8. Andrea, that light box is awesome! Can you take a photo of your lightbox so we can see how to construct it? I know it's cardboard with some compact flour. light bulbs, but how?

    That would be so helpful!
