Yesterday was a pretty dreary day that ended with a stormy night, so I thought I'd pull together a bright and cheery card to lighten things up a bit around here.I started with the inspiration photo from the latest Our Craft Lounge challenge and combined it with this month's Sketch for You to Try for this card. The inspiration photo features a yummy looking popsicles in lots of summery colors. I incorporated some of the colors from the photo plus the stripes and circles seen in the popsicles. And, I used a tree image--sort of popsicle shaped if you thing about it, right?
I colored one of the tree images from the Tweet Trees set with Copic markers. I used some dots to fill in the treetop--a little out of the norm for me, but a fun change. After coloring the tree, I set it on a polka dot embossed circle panel using dimensional dots.
I covered the cardfront with patterned paper panels from two different paper lines. They work together pretty well even though they're not designed to! Each panel is layered on a pink mat and machine stitched around the edges. I set the patterned pieces on a green panel, then stretched a piece of celery striped twill over them, running the length of the card. I attached the image panel and added the "wishing you sweet days" sentiment, stamped in Rose Bud ink on a smaller circle, to the edge of the panel. A tiny bit of the twine is knotted and attached at the bottom of the sentiment panel to dress it up a bit. Sweet and summery all at the same time!
