Refreshing Summer Card

As the summer comes to an end and the kiddos are all heading back to school, I found time to get this cute little Summer Card done. First time in a long while that I used a round card base. Rather enjoyed the challenge :)

Materials Used:

Brown Cardstock base 5"

(I used the brown round card set from Studio G)

House Mouse "Splish, Splash... A Citrus Bath" stamp

Yellow patterned paper

Purple stripe patterned paper

Brown & Pink cardstock

Green Ribbon

White Lace

Pink dots

White Uniball Pen

Wink of Stella clear pen

Glossy Accents

Copic Markers

Lemon & Lemonade Y08, Y04, Y02

Mouse E15, E13, E11, E00

Background B00, B000, E13, E11

Flower V17, V15, V12, G85, G82

Colorless Blender 0

Instructions:

I first stamped my image and colored with the copics.

Cut image to 3.25" wide x 2.75" tall.

I matted this onto the brown cardstock with a 1/32" border.

Then matted onto the pink cardstock with 1/16" border.

On my silhouette I cut out a 4.75" scalloped circle in the yellow PP. Adhere this to the base.

I added a brown 4.25" circle cut on top of the yellow.

Then I adhered the purple PP to the bottom half and cut off extra.

Add green ribbon across the middle and white lace overlapping.

Using the green ribbon I cut a little corner piece to accent the colored stamp.

I used a white pen to draw stitch lines and used pink dotted embellishments for the scallop circle.

With pop dots I placed my colored image in the middle of the card.

Last I embellished with my Wink of Stella clear pen on the flower and glossy accents.

My challenge for you this week is to break out those coloring pencils, markers, crayons, acrylics, watercolors, or whatever medium suits you and color an image to use on your next project.
