Hey, Sunshine

Here's my card for the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  I made a summer inspired design featuring the cutie from the Hey Sunshine stamp set.

I colored up the girl and raft image using Copic markers, then used my Scan 'n Cut machine to cut out the colored image.  For the background, I used a curved die with stitched detailing to cut a pair of dark blue "waves."  The waves were layered and adhered to a lighter blue card base, then the image was added on top using foam tape for dimension.  To fill in the scene, I created a die cut sun using an old MFT sun die and a shimmery white cloud using the much newer Cute Cloud Outlines dies. The sun and cloud were placed at the upper left corner of the cardfront, then topped with a fishtail flag strip featuring the set's "hey, sunshine" sentiment.
