The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow
This challenge was so hard!! I know what movies I like and I can make a card, but trying to combine the two was a completely different thing!
The challenge is a fill in the blank.
There are 12 steps to making a card for this challenge:
- Choose a movie from your long list of favourites
- Think about how you can represent that movie on a card
- Find a stamp set that will work with your idea
- Find a stamp set that will work with your idea
- Find a stamp set that will work with your idea
- . . . . . . . . .
- Choose a different movie
- Find a stamp set that will work with your idea
- . . . . . . . . .
- Just find a stamp set that will work with any of your many favourite movies
- . . . . . . . . . nevermind
- Make a card without any stamps and hope for the best.
Okay, so it turned out different than my first idea and even my second idea, but I actually stuck with the same movie. I just could NOT find any stamps that worked for me. I was probably trying too hard.
I won’t make you guess which movie. I wanted so badly to piece a bunch of different sentiments together to have it say “the sun’ll come out tomorrow”, but after extensive searching, I had to give up and use the word “smile” from the Daisy Lane stamp set. So, my card design goes along with “the sun’ll come out tomorrow” but the sentiment represents “you’re never fully dressed without a smile”. This is one of my all time favourite movies.
ANNIE (1982)
There have been a few attemps to remake this movie, but none of them even hold a candle to this one. Carol Burnett was perfectly crazy and amazing!
I ended up doing a whole bunch of crazy sponging on my card to create the clouds on Balmy Blue cardstock. I used torn pieces of paper as a mask and sponged Whisper White Craft ink, then sponged on some Balmy Blue where I wanted some colour variations in the sky and to soften my harsh lines. I also used a craft knife to cut along the top of a “cloud” so I could tuck my sun in behind it. (because it isn’t coming out until tomorrow, you know!)
I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies, the Parisian Embossing Folder (it’s hard to see on the white cardstock in these photos), and the Layering Circle Dies. Whisper White cardstock, Pacific Point cardstock for a thin matte, and So Saffron for the sun (which I sponged the edges of using Daffodil Delight ink). The sentiment was stamped with Versamark on the Basic Black cardstock and was heat set with White Embossing powder.
Do you see that sheet music? I expressed how I love sheet music patterned paper, so she gave me some actual sheet music! How fun is that!

This challenge was really hard. Are you up for it? I bet you can do it! Give it a go and show it off at the As You See It Challenge Blog. We’d love to see how you worked one of your favourite movies into a card.

Oh Amy, I really did enjoy this post! Yes, I thought this challenge was hard too and feel I cheated a bit! I don’t know this movie (I can hear you yelling indignantly from here!) but I think it’s time I did 🙂 Your card is beautiful and I love the clever sunshine coming out from behind the clouds effect and that wonderful musical ‘smile’ tag. Who could fail to be cheered up by this?!
Read your social undistancing post and honestly Amy, you speak for all of us I think! Non-essential stores are opening next week in England and that’s WAAAAY too scary for me!! Vicky x

If you have an appreciation for musical theatre, then you should give Annie a try. I’m also glad to know there are other people who are nervous about reopening our communities with the virus still presenting a threat.
