Here Comes the Sun…
…doot n doo dooooo…here comes the sun and I say…it’s alright! 
(is that the words? LOL!)
So, now that you will all be singing that song all day with me… 
I have a card to share!
This design came together in pieces. I wanted to stamp these Lockhart hydrangeas on a quad of 4 white matboard inchies, then separate them to look like tiles. I also wanted to use some of this lovely Memory Box inspire patterned cardstock. The paper allowed me to choose some different colors to use in coloring my image. I used the following Copic markers: BV02, BV04, BV08 (for the blossoms), YR24 (for the berries), BG72 (for the background), G21, G85, G99 (for the leaves and can), E57, E47 (for the can), W4 (for shadows)and 0, the colorless blender to remove some color from the leaves.
Here’s a closeup of the image, also accented with Stickles (naturally, LOL!)
The rest of the card is quite simple. I didn’t want to cover very much of this gorgeous paper, but I felt like the inchie tiles needed some framing. I decided to use my Spellbinders scalloped square die to create an embossed frame. I think it adds “just enough” ~ do you? I finished off the design with some Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie rub ons, and a little aged copper swirly clip (SU!) tied with some moss grosgrain. It’s mounted on a Memory Box vanilla bean notecard.
Just one last reminder that I will be drawing 5 winners tonight around 9:30pm Eastern time! Be sure to scroll down and enter for the Trudee Treats, if you haven’t already!!!
Thanks for stopping by, and have a fabulous day! 
You’re amazing. This card is absolutely gorgeous. It gives me ideas, although mine won’t turn out nearly as beautiful as yours, I’m sure. I have a queston - I have a Wizard, but I’m not too experienced with it, and I have some of the Nestabilities, but I’ve only used mine for cutting - is there any trick to using them for embossing only? Do you just use the Wizard as if you’re embossing with a brass stencil?
Thanks for sharing your wonderful cards - you really are an inspiration! I’m so happy I found your blog.
How DARLING! Those rubon’s look AWESOME!!!!! Great coloring and colors too!
What a stunning card. I love the rich colors. Just beautiful!
FABULOUS! simply fabulous! I just purchased this stamp & haven’t inked it yet. Thanks for the inspiration Trudee!
beautiful work, I love that frame! Not too much, not too little, just right!
Awesome! Love the window image of the flowers in 4 squares.
(((((((hugs)))))))))
You are so creative and I love your stuff. I’ve been lurking for some time now and thought I’d say i. I have your link on my blog. Thanks.

Gorgeous Trudee!!! doo doo doo…it’s alright!!!!
Just love this, Trudee.
The paper sets everything off so nicely, and nice to see the nestabilities used in this manner, too.
It’s beautiful! Esp. love the cross-stitched rubon you added. Also really love the spring winged things card you shared a few days ago. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent. Sandra
You do beautiful work, Trudee! I loves your cards. They are just absolutely gorgeous!
Trudee, THIS CARD IS ABSOLUTELY, OUTRAGEOUSLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! everything about it!
How imaginative. Love the use of the patterned cardstock.
Oh my goodness! This is incredible. Where do I begin. — wonderful colors and amazing coloring; your layout, the way you used the nesties and stamping are such a fresh look and so creative; and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the main image and how you worked the inchies to look like tiles. Fabulous card!
Beautiful Trudee! I love the look of the tiles. I like how you used the clip with the ribbon too. A fabulous card, once again. Thanks for sharing! And, yes, those are the words!
Very pretty! Love the embossed frame!
Truidee,
Beautiful! Love the tile look of the inches and the rub ons. QUESTION: Does this matboard come already cut in four squares or do you have to cut it yourself?

Oh my gosh, T! This is FANTASTIC! Love the tiles, love the hardware over the swirl, the cross-stitches in the corner! WOW!!!
This is wonderful, Trudee! I loved the framed window looking into your flower garden!! And that paper is indeed beautiful!!
Beautiful card Trudee. Really brightened a hard day and inspired me to go stamp something in those colors. Thanks for sharing !!
Love the Hydrandeas with the stickles! Great color combo.
Very very cool, Trudee! Love the scalloped frame around the hydrangeas. And the tiles too! Everything just came together beautifully.
Great card. Love the flowers in the tile format. You did a great job coloring them in. Love how you used your nestabilities to emboss around the tiles. I’m going to have to break down and buy a set of those nestibilities.
I can’t add too much more to what was already said! I love your ribbon accent in the corner and I love the window pane idea! Thanks so much for sharing! Jeanne

This is so beautiful! I just love how the swirl peeks out from that gorgeous image! Wonderful design!
I absolutely love it. Especially the flourish in the corner and the way you color your images. So professional looking.
Beautiful, Trudee — love this layout and how you framed your gorgeous inchies!
Hubby brought home the “Bee Movie” this weekend for Rachel to watch and the song for the ending is “Here Comes the Sun!” Now I really can’t get it out of my head! Wishing you a great week ahead!
