I'm so very ready for Summer!

I am willing the Sun to come out by creating this card! I am ready for Summer & the veg plot is def ready for Summer - enough of the rain already!


So I'll keep making bright and sunny cards in the hope that the weather warms up very soon.

I made this card using Dr Digi image - A Dunderton Abroad. I wanted to go with his tropical shirt and suitcase somewhere exotic. It as either that or I went retro British and had him on a traditional Pier - Maybe I'll do that next time. This Image reminded me of my Dad with his socks and sandals - think I'll use it for his Fathers Day Card!

For this card I used Simple Stories "Goodday Sunshine"collection. The Sentiment sheet is cut from a 12x12 paper and mounted on white to make it stand out a little. The sticker top right is from the embellishment collection. I die cut the Palm Tree using a Sizzix die and more papers from the collection. I used Promarker in bright green to add some texture to the leaves. I added some gems in cor-ordinating colours as I thought it needed something else but didn't know what to go with. I thought these gems would evoke the idea of the sand and sea. I added some glaze on to the Sunglasses and the camera lens. 

I used these promarkers to colour the digi image - 
Shorts & tash -  Warm Grey 1,3 & 5
Skin - Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush & Antique White. 
Sunglasses - Ice grey 1 & 5, Black & Egyptian blue. 
Socks - Saffron, Halloween & Orange. 
Sandals & Case - Tan, Nutmeg, Saddle Brown & Cocoa.
Shirt  - Frosted Jade, Island Lagoon & Marine / Halloween & Orange / Leaf Green & Bright green. 
Head Scarf - Leaf green, Bright Green & Honeydew.

    I love, love, love your card. It is so bright and makes me happy. Is the sentiment a stamp and if it is which company is it from? thank you for sharing your awesome talent with us!
