Fun in the Sun...

Sharing my DT Spotlight card for Kitty Bee Designs today

I am using Ready for the beach penguin

He is adorable with his little snorkel mask and beach toys

I decided to create a little scene for my card this month and fussy cut the images

After coloring the image with Copic markers, I fussy cut the images.  I then cut a circle out of the center of my card, added some sky blue patterned paper to the inside, which created a nice sky in the center and a bottom border.  I finished with a Cricut cut sun and a FUN in the SUN sentiment, then added sequins to make it sparkle.

I used the following Copic markers:  B000, B00, B02, B05, C-0, C-1, C-3, R22, R27, R29, Y02, Y06, Y08, YR02, YR04, YR07

Thanks for coming by today make sure to visit Kitty Bee Designs and the Shop too! So much cuteness.
