Since summer is close, Squigglefly Challenge blog asks challenge players to make a "summertime theme card--think of the outdoors, beaches, playing, leaving school, vacations, summertime holidays. All the great things we get during the summer time."
I got to play with a brand spankin' new June release from new Squigglefly artist and crafting friend Pammie Lehto!! The digi image is called "Fancy Cup With Rose." I thought it would be perfect for the summer theme.
After coloring the image with Copics, I matted it with the same card stock I used to make the card base. I used a piece of patterned paper from my stash (of which I keep using for cards and even giving away and I don't see any progress in decreasing the amount).
I kept the embellishments simple, finding organza ribbon in a matching color as well as white. I tied one around the card front, and the other around the bottom of the tea cup. A few flowery pearl strands that I received from a friend finish off my card.
Alright, grab your suntan lotion and paper cutter and join the fun at Squigglefly Challenge Blog!!

I really love how this turned out Pat. The soft colors are so pretty make the rose appear so delicate! I love the little spray of pearls too. Isn't it funny how we can use and use paper and it never seems to come to an end, but when it's a special favorite piece it's gone too quickly?
Pretty card and lovely coloring! Very realistic and delicate coloring!
This is so pretty, love the soft colors and I love the image you chose.
WOW! This is really pretty! What great colors you used!

Very Pretty Pat, I just love how the card turned out, and the color of your rose is the same color as the actual rose it was drawn from a "Sterling Silver Tea Rose".
Pat - this is sooo pretty. Love the image, your soft coloring on the rose, and your cool layout. This would work for a lot of different occasions. Well done. Hugz!
Pat, Beautiful and elegant and the pearls look lovely!
Pat, this is so pretty and delicate! Your colouring is beautiful and I just LOVE the way you have added the pearls (I need to check my stash to see if I have anything similar!) Gorgeous card (and I'm sorry I'm so late in commenting!) hugs!
