Elisabeth Bell's World June/July Challenge

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday!  How has your week been so far?  Mine has been quiet.  I'm gradually adding back a little crafting, but still can't sit as long as I'd like.  I know I'll get there. I just have to be patient, which is not really my strong suit!  Anyway, I am here today with my DT post for this month's Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge.  The theme this time is "summer".  Perfect, right?  Elisabeth has so many wonderful stamps depicting a summer theme, so this should be easy peasy!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the fun beachy patterned papers are from the Echo Park Summer Bliss 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Little Best Friends from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.  I printed it on MiC blending card and colored it with my Copics.  I added in the sand and the sky with my Copics, too.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few sparkly 3D shell stickers finished my card. 

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge and check out the gorgeous summer creations from the rest of the Digi Bells!  We hope you will play along this time!  Please remember you must use an Elisabeth Bell image to enter, but it can be from any company.  You have until July 22nd to enter your project.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Craft Your Passion Challenge #219 (bold and beautiful; use bright colors)
The Cutie Pie Challenge #72 (girls, girls, girls and cute)
Crafting by Designs Challenge (here comes summer)

Have a great day and see you soon!

Live for Today

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is going OK so far.  It was quite a stormy night here, but although it is still raining, there is no thunder, at least at the moment.  I am popping in quickly this morning to share a card I made for a couple of challenges. 

Here is what I made:

 

My doily easel card base was cut from Olive cardstock using the Doily Easel Card 2 cut file generously shared as a freebie by Bird's Cards.  The patterned paper is from the My Mind's Eye Stella and Rose Mabel 6x6 pad.  The gorgeous stamp is Posy by Norma J. Burnell for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I was lucky enough to have won the rubber stamp on Norma's Facebook page.  I stamped it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added a bit of Stickles here and there for some sparkle.  The sentiment is from A Piece of Heart. Thanks to Sharon, who shared it as a freebie on her blog here.  I didn't add any more embellishments so the image could take center stage.

Here is a close up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Looking forward to visiting with you a little later this morning.
