All About Summer...

Hello, friends...

I am so excited to share with you, that I was invited to be the guest designer for the 

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge for the month of July!

What an honor to get to work with these very talented ladies - this has been a delightful secret to keep!

Today's Timeless Tuesday Challenge hostess is the amazing Makiko, who has chosen "All About Summer" as her theme for this week.  Makiko has challenged us to make a card or project with a summer theme. 

"On the Porch" was immediately my choice for this challenge.  

It's one of my favorite Flourishes sets, and certainly make me think of summer.  

A CAS easel card seemed the perfect fit for this wonderful image!  

The image and sentiment were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Dye Ink, on Flourishes Classic White Cardstock.  The image was colored with Copic Markers: Y08, Y11, YG61, YG63, G21, C00, C1.  

Prima's beautiful "Songbird Collection" 6 x 6 Paper Pack, and black cardstock scraps were used to mat panels. A bit of Gelly Roll Stardust Pen was used to give the ice cubes some sparkle, some gloss was used to give the image a shiny, realistic look, and some Want 2 Scrap Bling was added as a perfect finishing touch.  The image was stamped a second time, and the lemons were colored and fussy cut, to use as a brace for the front panel.  The lemons and the focal panel were given some dimension with foam squares.

Take a look at what the fabulous Timeless Tuesday Designers have created for you today!
