Hooray It's Your Day!

Another super quick card using the adorable images from the Amuse Studio  Time To Party stamp set along with Lots of Dots.  I love using the Amuse Studio Pinstripe as an option for less white space.  It really makes a difference when you want to keep the card clean and simple.

You Are My Sunshine!

This card came together quickly.  For the starburst image I used two inks.  I inked all over with the lighter color and then went back on the outer edges with the darker color.  I stamped the solid circle from Lots of Dots for the sun.  I stamped the sentiment with Onyx Versafine ink over top and done!
