A little garden ...

After every storm ...

"After every storm the sun will smile"

Hi everyone, happy Friday! I hope you're well.

I've made my card today using the colours at Card Concept (Clean and Layered), with inspiration from the layout of this week's Muse card. 

I don't make Halloween cards so I used the fun Sunbeams stamp set by CAS-ual Fridays, having happily won a discount voucher for their store.

The sun was stamped with SU! Pumpkin Pie, then stamped the sentiment and attached it to two strips of torn vellum.

Also linking up for a second entry at the fabulous Time Out challenge (Use Stamping).
