Card Clubhouse IG Hop - Week 12

Hello lovely friends; I'm back to share my card for the Card Clubhouse IG hop organised by my sweet friend Kelly. We are on Week 12 and our theme is 'hello sunshine' so we would like to see sunshine dies, stamps, papers etc. We can't wait to see what everyone makes. There are going to be so many awesome creations along the hop this week and I can't wait to see what sparks your imagination.

I recently picked up this super cute sunshine die that I thought would be perfect for this challenge. It's quite large so I didn't really need to do much more to my card lol so it's quite a simple card today. I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the fun die cut:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by die cutting the sun 3 times so that I could layer them up with liquid glue.  I cut the outer part from orange card and the inner circle from yellow card.  I used some scrap card to cut the face pieces.  For the background I embossed a white panel using an older folder that I've had in my stash for years; the clouds are so cute.  I also cut a piece of orange gingham card 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" to go behind my embossed panel and I adhered them together with double sided tape.  I die cut the letters x 2 to spell 'sunshine' from the yellow card and adhered them together with liquid glue.  I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment and use a sentiment strips die to cut it out.  I added the sun and strip sentiment with foam squares and the sunshine word with liquid glue.  The panel was then added to the card base with double sided tape.  I finished off with some pastel orange and yellow pearls.  For the inside I cut a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and added a strip of white card to the bottom that I also embossed with the cloud folder.  I die cut another sun and added that over the embossed piece, cutting off the overhanging piece.  I stamped a simple sentiment in black ink and added the panel to the card base with double sided tape.
