Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge: Sizzling Summer Days

The Digi Bells design team over at the Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog wants to see your Sizzlin' Summer Days projects.  A very lucky randomly selected entry will win TWO Elisabeth Bell digi images of their choice AND a prize from Whimsy Stamps!  You can find out more about this challenge and sponsors here.

This sweet little lady shares a picnic snack with her bunny friend while they wait to watch the amazing interaction of colors in a spectacular show performed by nature's sun set.  You can find this wonderful rubberstamp image designed by Elisabeth Bell for the Whimsy Stamps Little Cottage Cuties Collection here.  This image evokes a peaceful feeling for me and I suspect the recipient of my card using this image will feel the same.  I intend to share this card with someone who is handling a difficult situation in the hopes that they'll find comfort through my card art.

Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image . . .

 

Cosmo Cricket's Love Notes - Always patterned paper is layered with Bazzill autumn-toned cardstock to form my easel card.  An Offray 5/8" green paper ribbon provides a grounding element for my cluster of Close To My Heart Mini Medley Chocolate Shades flowers with brad centers and Sweet Stamps Sweet Cuts Elegant Leaves die cuts.  A double and offset die cut of Sweet Stamps Sweet Cuts Mini Medallion in orange and green draws the setting sun out of my image and onto my card front and base.  A few simple brads accent the upper left corner.

I ran the Sweet Stamps Sweet Cuts Flutterby No. 2 die cuts through my Xyron "x" twice then covered the sticky surface with Sparkle N Sprinkle's Crystal Ice Glitter for amazing sparkle.  Ranger's Inkssentials Black Enamel Accent gives shiny dimension to the butterfly body and antennae.

Here's a view of my completed card front showing my use of Elisabeth Bell's Sunset Rose rubberstamp image . . .

 

The base of the card includes a lovely multi-font stamped sentiment from Stamp Oasis . . .

Here's a view of my easel card, open and ready for display . . .
