Here Comes The Sun!

Hello All!...another gorgeous day here in the UK.

To celebrate the summery weather I have made a bright & sunny card today...

I have used another digi image this time it is 'Lacie with Ice Cream' by Mo Manning...isn't she a sweetie. As always I have coloured the image with Copic Markers...I added some glossy accents to the sunglasses and some Stickles to the ice cream. The papers are all from the 'Fun in The Sun' collection by Kaisercraft....I created the sunshine shape using the Spellbinders 'Inverted Scallop' nesties. I punched the border with the Martha Stewart 'Deco Shells' edger and found some fab flip flop ribbon in my stash. The Flowers were punched with the Large & Medium Retro flower punches...the Ice Cream button & Yellow Flower buttons are from my stash.
