Summertime at A Gem Of A Challenge

Hello!

It's time for another challenge over at A Gem of a Challenge, and this week (Challenge #82) the theme is "Summertime."  This challenge will run from 8:00 AM June 1, to 6:00 PM June 7, and the prize for the winner will be 2 individual digi images (NOT SETS) from Pink Gem Designs. So do head on over and see what the rest of the lovely Design Team have created, then join us, won't you? We'd love to see you!




My card today uses Thoughtful Chloe and Heart Tree stamps, plus I've also used one of the papers from the Pink Gem "Daisies" digital papers paper pack.  I wanted to have Chloe perched "on the edge" of the double die cut window with the tree in the background poking out a bit as well.



I used the sun ray technique which always thrills me as to how realistic it looks.


I colored both images with Copics and added some sparkly gel pen to the flowers on the tree, plus some dots of Copics Opaque White to the centers of the flowers and the whites of Chloe's eyes.



The flowers are from WOC and I Am Roses, and I added some swirl diecuts underneath.


 A few rhinestones on the sentiment tab and the upper left corner finish things off.

Thank you for joining me today, and I do hope you'll head on over to A Gem of a Challenge to see what the lovely design team has created for you, then please do join us!


In the meantime, happy crafting!

Incredible Shea. I love how you have the sun just to begin with but also housed in its own little frame with everything else in front of it makes such a difference to pop everything dimensionally. Beautifully coloured and embellished as always.

Hugs,
Lisa
