Sun-sational

Happy Canada Day! Although I haven't really done anything special today, it was still nice to have the man home today. Our cul-de-sac is actually going to celebrate with a BBQ on Saturday, July 4th because most people won't have to get up early and work on Sunday.

I am trying to practice using different skin colours as well as my hair colouring skills, so I broke out another older MFT Stamps set that I had not used until today.

Here is the coloured image.

Again I fussy cut out the coloured image, leaving a small white border around the image.

For my card I also used the MFT Stamps - Hibiscus die and added dimension by adding topic marker to the card stock.
