Backyard Blog Hop

If you just came from the Embellish Online blog you are in the right place.  Today, Tomorrow and Friday the EO Design Team is going to be showing you all things summer.  Think, watermelon, b-b-q's, swimming, sweet tea...you get the idea.  All you need to do is make a card or lay out using the sketch provided and you can win your own July Design Team package (yep what the designers got for July)  we are talking about American Crafts Backyard paper, ribbon, etc... lots of fun stuff!!
On to the card, I really love the Stampavie images, so I colored in this sweet girl with Copic markers to coordinate with the American Crafts paper I chose to use.  I was at a loss as what I was going to put where the butterfly is (you don't need to follow the sketch exactly), so I went through my Thickers and found some that matched perfectly, then spelled out "pic-nic"  I love it when things just fall into place.  Do you see that extra large ric rac?  Oh my gosh, I'm thinking I may need it in every color now!  It came in my July dt kit (play along and you can have your own too) and I've been kind of hoarding it, but I decided to put in on the card at the last minute.  I normally don't have this many layers and stuff on a card, but I have to say I had a lot of fun putting this card together.  Getting outside of your "box" every once in a while is a good thing!  Make sure to head on over to Christine's blog to see what she has in store for you!!
