For my 'Hot' Summery creation, I chose to use my Adorable SNSS's Tommy Turtles Balloons image! I printed this little Sweetie out onto Flourishes Classic White and colored him up with my trusty Copics. I cut it out with the help of my Classic Ovals and Nesties set using the Out of the Box technique, added a touch of shading with Tumbled glass Distress ink while the die was still in place and then popped him up with a bit of foam tape. For my mats and BG layers, I chose a combination of ivory CS from my stash and some Bright Pretty dp's from Fancy Pants Summer Soul collection. To finish it all up I stamped my Lil' Inker Sentiment onto a Die-namics mini tab die cut with Memento Tuxedo Black,added a touch of shading with Wild Honey Distress ink, some faux stitching with the help of my white Gell pen and a fun polka dot ribbon from my stash!... 8-)
