It's a Sunshiny Day!

It's a beautiful spring day here -- sunny, not a cloud in the sky, temperatures around 75 degrees F. My windows are open, I can feel the breeze, and I can hear all the neighborhood kids playing outside. Today's weather got me thinking about summer days ahead, so I created this card for today's Sketch Challenge at Splitcoaststampers. The image and sentiment are from By the Seashore by My Favorite Things. I colored with Copics and sponged the edges of the panel with Bashful Blue ink. Her hat is cut out and popped up on dimensionals. The two background panels are actually pieces of the same paper (Beachy Keen) turned in two directions. The horizontal panel is Bashful Blue cardstock which I ran through my Cuttlebug in the D'Vine Swirls embossing folder. I embellished with Soft Subtles Brads and striped grosgrain ribbon.

I hope you are enjoying some spring weather today! Thanks so much for stopping by -- have a fantastic day!! :)
