Summer Sizzle
****************************************
Well in
the UK our weather has been so up and down lately it doesn’t feel like we will
have a Summer but the images we have for this, the final round of challenges at
CDAC will help to bring a bit of Summer to your lives. I’m sure you will have
as much fun with them as we the DT have.
I
decided to go quite bold and bright with this card. I have this brilliant set
of 3 craft drawers by DCWV that I got from QVC some years ago and I knew the
Summer one had some ice cream themed items so this was where I started. I
printed the design so that I could decoupage the layers and picked the colours
of blue and pink from the
main patterned paper. The textured cardstock is colour co-ordinated from the
same drawer set and the patterned brad is also from there.
I used
a Nestabilities die to cut the image and mounted the layers with 3d foam. The
final layer has had a coat of Glossy Accents applied and I have added some
beads that have been recycled from an old t-shirt.
The
layout has been inspired by a sketch from Clean & Simple
Stamping, however I am not convinced they will accept my entry as my
card is probably not CAS enough for them, mind you it is quite CAS for me…..
The
sentiment if a freebie from Wink Wink Ink and is
again cut with a nestie die and inked around the edges.
