Ahoy There!

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your summer!

Summer is always so busy and it seems like I spend less time in my craft room. 

Anyone else like that?

Today I was determined to get into my room and create a card though and I'm happy to say that I did!! Yay!! lol!

I created my card using an adorable image from 

Pink Gem Designs.

Isn't this little Sailor Bear the cutest?

I thought he was just perfect to create a summer themed Hello card.

To create my card, I started with a dark blue A2 cardbase and layered some patterned paper on top. I embossed some red cardstock with a polka dot embossing folder and added that to the bottom of my card base. I added a thin strip of white cardstock and wrapped some twine around, tying it off with a bow. I printed out that adorable teddy and colored him with my Copic markers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut him out and popped him up onto a die cut circle with foam tape. I printed out my sentiment and popped that up with more foam tape to complete my card. 

Copic Colors Used:

--Bear: E50, E31, E33, E59, R22, R20--

--Shirt/Hat: C00, C0, R27, R39, B37--

--Boat: B32, B34, B37, R39, C00--

I would like to play along with the following challenges:

--My Time To Craft: #512 Summertime Waterplay--

--The Paper Funday: #55 Anything Goes (optional Red, White & Blue)--

--Can You Handle The Pressure: Anything Goes (Optional Stars)--

I hope you have a great crafty day!
