Summer Time Challenge!!


The challenge this week over at the All That Scraps blog is to do something summery!!! You know it's starting to feel like summer, isn't it?? It's so warm and sunny!!

I used some summer papers called Cabana from Inque Boutique. Love the colours....just makes me think of the beach, which is perfect for this little Waving Emma Sugarplum image!

The card base is a Groovy Guava textured cardstock 6x6 square with So Saffron matting. I cut Emma out and embossed the edges using my Nesties and coloured her using my Copic markers. I also drew in the beach line with my Copic Multiliner pen. The scalloped layer is in Groovy Guava and I added some GG stitched grosgrain ribbon too! The Beach Sentiment is stamped on So Saffron and pop dotted, along with the main layer. I finished it off by adding some Prima hydrangeas and some small paper flowers in the centers (they were from the $ store)!! Isn't she fun??



Later this morning you'll find more samples on the ATS Blog for this summer challenge!! Why don't you play along???
