Summer Vibes

Hi everyone!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

I have some pretty exciting news to share with you all. 

I was asked to be a DT Creative Member for Digi Doodles Studios!!

Yay!! I'm so excited to be a part of this team!

 Digi Doodle Studios is a digital stamp company that has some of the cutest images!! They even have a monthly challenge blog that you can find HERE. 

I fell in love with so many of the images and have had so much fun coloring them!

 You can also find Digi Doodle Studios on Instagram!

Here is the card that I created to share with you today:

As soon as I saw this image in the Digi Doodle Studios Store, I knew I had to have it! My daughter LOVES to read and will read wherever she can! One of her favorite things to do during the summer is to read at the beach or the pool, although I don't think she has been brave enough to try to read while floating in water lol! I thought it would be fun to make a card that she can relate to and send to her. I started my card with a card base that I created from some Bermuda Bay cardstock and layered it with a white piece of cardstock that I cut out using a scalloped edge die. Next, I printed out this adorable image titled, Summer Reads onto a piece of white cardstock and colored her with my Copic Markers. Once I had her colored in, I used a stitched die to cut her out and then went around the edges with a Copic Marker to create a "sky".  I popped her up onto my card base with some foam tape for some dimension and added a few clouds to help with the scene. I created my sentiment on my computer with Word, printed it on cardstock, trimmed it down and added a twine bow before adhering it to my card.

I added some sparkle to the flower on her hat, the sun on her suit and the clouds with a Wink Of Stella pen but the camera didn't pick it up.

I will also be entering my project into the following challenges:
