The Sweetest Gift

Good morning!  Happy Monday!?!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  We had a record rainfall yesterday and today is not looking to be much better.  I guess I will have to stay in and maybe even find some time in my craft room.  Before getting on with my day, I am here to share a card I made for the currrent Guest DT call on the Digi Bells DT blog.  I had so much fun as GDT last year that I always like throw my name in the hat when these calls come up again.  The theme for this GDT call is "summer".  I went with some warm summer colors, some pretty flowers and birds, and an adorable barefoot little girl for my summer creation.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Crisp Cantaloupe and my patterned papers are from the Prima Songbird 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Little Friends from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Mint Green Liquid Pearls to the buttons on her blouse and Eucalyptus and Golden Rod Stickles to her hair tie and the little bird. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I added some birds that I cut with the Birds on A Wire metal die from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I tucked in a few vintage tickets from the same Prima pad.  Some mint green lace, a May Arts silk ribbon bow with a metal birdcage charm and  a few Wild Orchid Crafts roses and rosebuds finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  I truly appreciate your visits, especially when I haven't been able to reciprocate much this last couple of weeks.  I hope to get back into my routine soon.

My card is also for the following challenges:
Elphine House #48 (use something metal; I used a metal charm)
Crafts and Me Challenge #138 (anything goes)

Have a great day and see you soon!
