HERE COMES THE SUN

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE :)
Today I wanted to share the card I made for
This week's Paper Queen is none other than 
Seriously, Mary is one of my card making idols !
The theme was " In Thy Face I See Truth, Honor and Loyalty"  what an inspirational saying ! My mind went to so many things, the military, my family, my faith. But the thing that kept coming to mind the most was my faith in God. So this card depicts how I feel about my Heavenly Father above, always looking down on me, always smiling, like the sun, always shining light on me when things seem dark, forever loyal, forever truthful :)
Details :
Base Card is Natural Card Stock from Michael's cut at 5.5 x 4.25
The blue layers are pieces of scraps about 2 inches and I used Stampin Up's Scalloped punch on one edge and layered them from darkest to lightest.
The sun is from The Wild Cad Cart cut at 3", real dial size. I used my gypsy to make it a 2 layer shape and I glittered the rays. I used the Peachy Keen Everyday Faces Stamp for the face and colored the whites of the eyes with a Sakura white gel pen.
The sentiment is from Stamp Up's Teeny Tiny Sayings.

Pin It!
