I absolutely think this stamp from the Lean on Me set is the cutest!
I love the sentiment too, isn't is a sweet idea to catch Sad Suzy's tears??
Today when I realized just how long it's been since I played with my favorite challenge - The Paper Players - I got busy with my blender pens and inks to watercolor and join in Jaydee's sketch challenge.
This post really is about so many favorites - you know I'm crazy about the Domestic Goddess DSP. I had so much fun choosing the pattern with the sun's rays and placing that behind my image. I plan the message inside to say that I hope each new day is looking brighter.
I loved hunkering down during the dark days of the tropical storm, but how beautiful it was to see the blue sky and sunshine yesterday and today. I did get lots of stamping done and look forward to sharing my new cards this week.
I'd love to hear from you - won't you take time to leave a comment and let me know what you think of today's card? Have a blessed Monday!

This is such a lovely card, Cindy! Your bow look fantastic as does your watercolouring. I love that sentiment too :) Thanks for playing along with the Paper Players!

Cindy, this is gorgeous. I cannot believe that you managed to get the focal image so fabulously placed with the rays behind it! Masterful. Your use of the rick rack and scalloped vertical elements adds so much interest, but doesn't detract from the focal image. LOVE it. So glad you did join the Paper Players again this week.

Oh Cindy, this card is an instant day-brightener! I love everything about it! From the happy color combo, to the way you centered the main image perfectly in the dsp...it all just works perfectly together. Loving that loopy bow, too. Thanks so much for joining us at the Paper Players this week! Hugs! :)

Cindy, it doesn't get better than this card! I LOVE the colors, and your choice of DSP was perfect! This is just too cute! Thanks for playing with The Paper Players!

Cindy... I love your card! I also love that DSP, I just did a Domestic Goddess Tea Party event today. It was so much fun. With this event and just loving this paper I am on my 4th pack of it!! What I really love about your card is how you used the circle in the paper to hold your image.
Hugs
