Mojo Monday 454-I Think You're Quite Cool

Happy Monday!  It's time for a new Mojo Monday sketch.  The sketch's large round panel screamed "sun" to me, so I ran with it and made a summery design using stamps from Concord and 9th.

My sun was made with a pinking edged yellow circle topped with a striped yellow patterned paper circle.  I set the round panel at the upper left corner of a light blue dotted patterned paper panel and trimmed the circle so its edges were flush with the panel's edges.  I replaced the sketch's rectangular panel with a popsicle! To get a traditional bomb pop-like look, I inked the top of the solid stamp with red ink and the bottom with blue, leaving the center uninked.  After cutting out the stamped image with the matching die, I stamped the "I think you're quite cool" sentiment on it in black ink.  I wanted to get an icy look, so I brushed over the popsicle with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen.  It really does have a sparkly, icy look IRL!  I added the popsicle stick, then used foam tape to adhere the image to the panel over a silver fishtail flag strip.  A few white glitter enamel dot "drips" completed the design.  I adhered the finished panel to a contrasting red card base.
