Summertime Chilling

This afternoon I'm posting with the Design Team with All Dressed Up Digital Stamps.  For the August Challenge Blog I've used this cute little fellow called 'Time to Cool Off' and created this beach scene card.

 

To make this card, I started by sizing the image to about 2 1/2" tall and colored him with Copic markers.  After selecting the background paper, then I colored the background in similar shades.

I used the Gina Marie Designs Label Six Nesting Dies for the decorative edges of the image and the coordinating blue mat. After trimming the background paper to fit the card base, I  added the green and yellow ribbon around the center.  Next I secured the background paper to the card base, then added the matted image.  I added a short piece of the ribbon to the left of the image, with just a simple knot.  The sentiment is from The Paper Loft and is also matted with the same blue cardstock and is raised with a layer of fun foam. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
