Under the Weather?

Coming into winter here in Australia, it's getting cold & a good friend of mine came down with a nasty bug. So to help brighten her day I whipped this together to help put a smile on her face.

After mastering the cloud background technique, I'm looking forward to using it more often.

Stamps: Taylored Expressions 'Sunny Days' stamp & die set

Dies: Spellbinders Label One, Taylored Expressions 'Clouds' (for background masking)
