You are my Sunshine

Hi everyone and Happy Saturday! I'm SO sorry I haven't posted in so long. I've been feeling a bit run down lately and that coupled with moving up to a different position at work and going through training has left little time for crafting the last few weeks (don't get me wrong, I am SO excited about my new position, it's just a lot of work and a lot of learning). It felt so good to get back into the craft room last night :) I've missed all your beautiful blogs and will be getting caught up on comments this weekend.




For my card today, I wanted to create a bright, fun, summery card. I decided to use this adorable image illustrated by Victoria Case and available at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. This particular image is called By the Sea and I think she's absolutely adorable. I colored the image with copics and then added Stardust Stickles to the flowers on her cap and the ripples in the water. Next, I sponged around the image with SU's Bashful Blue ink. I then cut the image out using my circle nestabilities. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock. The DP is from MME. I added blue pearls to the corners, a bow, roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, and dew drops for some finishing touches. The sentiment is from an old Studio G set. What do you think?

I'm hoping to get back to a regular posting schedule soon. I am in training for the rest of this month and we are also taking a vacation to Charleston, South Carolina at the end of the month (I'm SO excited!!! :) ), so posting might be a little light, but I'm going to try to keep up. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend!
