Summer Fun!

Today I created a summer card! I have been really excited to color this image since the first time I laid eyes on him.  He is from Tiddlywinks and can be found here.   The image was colored with copic markers and then I added some light glitter and clear applique for dimension and shininess!  I used Martha Stewart's beach shell's border punch and Spellbinders Pennants dies for my punches for the The Corrosive Blog Challenge.  The background is embossed with clouds and I cut one out for added dimension.  The water for my image was cut out twice and put up on dimensionals as well.  I added faux stitching to the pennants and to the teal blue background piece and last I added some of my favorite embellishments, clear dew drops.  I hope the pictures will convey all the sparkly and shiny parts of the card.








This card was entered in the following challenges:
