You Make Every Day Cooler

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  I pulled out my Penguins in Paradise set again for this summery design.

I used the sketch's large circle to make a sky and grass background, combining pieces of blue and green zig zag stitched circle die cuts to make one large circle.  The top of the green piece was punched with a grass border die to add interest.  The penguin image was colored with Copic markers and adhered to the panel using foam tape. 

I attached the panel to a piece of yellow dotted paper that was adhered to a golden yellow card base, then added the sentiment strip across the card.  It's edged along the bottom with a narrow strip of orange cardstock for a little pop of color.  I brought in a bit more orange with the tiny scalloped circle sun adhered to the top of the image panel with foam tape.
