Di's Digi Design Challenge - Favorite Colors (2 or 3)

 

The Fall colors and brisk winds have arrived in my area of the World.  Soon Alaska will see "termination" dust on the mountain tops announcing the soon arrival of winter.  BUT in my craft room I can create with bright colors and summer scenes!

I'm sharing this bright summer themed card for Di's current challenge to use favorite colors.  The blue, pink and yellow are so bright and cheerful together!  Summer Kitty Fun is available in Di's new Etsy shop and best of all it's on sale.

The image was colored with alcohol markers, fussy cut and layered onto papers from Colorbok and a swirly vellum panel from Stampin' Up!  The fun sentiment is from a business which closed several years ago - From the Heart.

I'm joining the current challenge at Di's Digi Challenge Blog.  This week is about fancy folds or ABC (anything but a card).  I chose to create a fun Z-Fold card with Di's adorable Racoon Cupcake digital image.  You can find the card fold tutorial on Beccy's Place HERE.

The digital image was printed onto X-Press It card stock, colored with Copic Markers then fussy cut.  I created the kitchen scene using pre-colored images from an older digital set from Craftin' Desert Divas.  Sadly, this fabulous stamping company went out of business several years ago.

The flooring was hand stamped with MFT On Solid Ground clear set.  A Paper Smooches birthday sentiment finishes the card.
