Summertime

Hi again!  I know I said I was going to be busy all day and I wouldn't be around, but I was able free up a little time to finish a card I was working on for a few challenges.  I wanted to come back and share it because one of the challenges is ending soon.  My card is for the Corrosive Challenge #151 (feeling punchy - use two or more punches or dies), Seems A Little Sketchy #15, The Squirrel and The Fox #19 (summer) and Bunny Zoe's Monthly Challenge (girls, girls, girls).

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of GKD Red Hot and layered the sketch panels with sparkly patterned papers from the K & Co. Citronella 12x12 pad.  My adorable image is Berry Betsy from Mayzy Art.  She was one of three "fruit" girls that Mayzy generously offered as freebies for subscribers to Through The Craftroom Door on-line magazine.  They were in the most recent issue.  If you haven't checked out this fabulous magazine yet, you are really missing out!  Colleen Holmes, the founder and leader of The Outlawz, is the new owner of TTCRD and her first issue was packed with wonderful articles and projects. Be sure to check out Mayzy's Etsy shop, too! She has lots of cute images that are a blast to color!  OK, back to my card.  I printed Betsy on Copic X-Press It Blending card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some polka dots to her dress with my Sharpie Paint pen.

Here is a close-up of Berry Betsy:

I used Spellbinders Petite Ovals dies to cut out and mat the image.  I punched a trellis with a Martha Stewart deep edger punch.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  Some gingham ribbon, a button and a few felt flowers from my stash finished my summery card.

Thanks for stopping by again!  I always love it when you visit!  Have a great night and I look forward to seeing you soon!
