Twofer - Sun

This month's Twofer Challenge (sun or moon)  is an easy one, I think - I could have made 100 cards with a sun or moon on them...in fact, I probably HAVE made 100 sun or moon cards over the years! 

The sun stamp I used is an old one, which I think was a Craft Stamper magazine freebie. 



For my first cards I stamped a row of beach huts ( an old UM, unknown brand) and masked them. Then I inked some sand and a mountain behind them , using a stencil and pen for the outline.Then I stamped and masked the sun stamp and added the clouds. Finally, I stamped the sentiment (Marianne) , coloured the huts , drew some birds and slapped it onto a grey base card. 

I'd also like to enter:

Daisy Chain masculine 
Country View seaside 





For my second card I used some stamps from a set by Reverse Confetti called 'background builder' - it's the kind of set you buy because they look a bit unusual and then when you get them, you've no idea what to do with them!Or is that just me?  So I used the round spotty one to add some interest to the sun and the long spotty one as a border at the bottom. The rhino (brand unknown) was coloured with Promarkers and the sentiments are Waffle Flower.

Great minds, Marina! I love your long lineup of whimsical beach huts set perfectly on the sand in front of a mountain and a very beautiful sky filled with birdies! That sun is so art deco; I love it! And I love that you zhuzhed it up with spots on your second card and added the spots as a grounding border. It's a terrifically CASlicious OLC! (I was just wondering the other day why we don't see more rhino stamps.) So cute!! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #30! Keep well! Hugs, Darnell

Darnell said exactly what I was going to say about the sun, it’s so Art Deco style, and I love it! Two cute CAS designs. I hope one day I’ll see a beach hut irl, to me beach huts scenes are somewhat exotic, I love seeing them. Cute olc rhino card too.

Could've sworn I commented when you posted this but I don't see anything, Marina. If this is duplicate, just delete. Anyway, just love your row of beach shacks with the sun and birds behind! And what a darling hippo with the sun turned flower behind him!!
