Hello! Today I have a card using the prettiest Sunshine stencil from Miss Ink Stamps. I’m sharing a technique for using a stencil as a mask to create this sunny scene.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This sun stencil is so delicate and beautiful…look at those golden rays! For this card, I first inked on the clouds and the cloud swirls. Then I used that cloud stencil as a mask, added the sun rays stencil, and spread on the Gold Glitz Glitter Gel.

It works perfectly! I then added some Stickles to the cloud swirls…this makes it extra sparkly just like a “silver lining.” I thought the sentiment “I believe in you” (from the Lovely Unicorns stamp set) would be perfect for an uplifting encouragement card. I popped this up with foam tape on a blue sentiment strip.

I finished it by adding some little butterflies and a blue polka-dot mat frame.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Hope you enjoyed this project today!
