Blue skies are comin'

 Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Hello, Sunshine!

Here is my card for your inspiration:

I decided to create an encouragement card that I can have on hand to send to someone who is going through a difficult time.  So, I have some dark clouds, a happy sun peeking out and some blue sky coming the recipient's way.

I started with a white card base and a bit of blue paper that was sitting on my desk.  Then I built the scene using cloud dies and some gray ink, some dimension and a cute little sun.  I finished everything off with some clear drops and some die cut hearts (that were also sitting on my desk waiting to be used).

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
