The dark grey clouds also made this a little trickier than usual to photograph, so you may have to take my word for a few things -- for example, that the bunny couple really are subtly coloured blue and mauve with my Prismacolor pencils. The sky is stenciled using a Paper Smooches die cut and distress ink. I used another die from the same set to cut the green hillside. The sun is stamped, embossed and cut from happy yellow patterned paper. I almost let the sun stand on its own to complete the sentiment, but stamping the word sunshine helped balance the design and form a visual triangle with the bunnies and sun.
Since I stenciled the sky, I'm linking this up to Simon Says Stamp's current challenge to "Stencil It". And now I'm just hoping for real-life sunshine tomorrow. ;)

It's been a strange summer so far - wonder where it will lead us? This is a perfect summmer card, Lindsey, and your stencilled clouds are just right with the darling bunnies and the happy sun! Thanks for playing along with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
Eek, how absolutely adorable, Linds! Your little scene couldn't be more perfect. Great use of stamps and dies!
These bunnies and your sky are just adorable. This card just shouted "happy" to me. Love it.
