Life Is a Picnic

Hey everyone! I have a great summer card to share today that I colored with Spectrum Noir Markers.
 
 
Isn't it so cute! I love how all the images...even the little ones...have a matching die. This is a new set from My Favorite Things called Life Is a Picnic.
 
I have a little tip on using one of the Florescent markers. When I colored the leaves on the hat - I used CG1 and CG2. The color was fine -- but they didn't really stand out enough from the color of the hat. To brighten up the green, I colored over the leaves with FL3. It worked perfectly! You can see in the close-up that they don't look florescent at all...they just look bright. I did the same thing on the other leaves and grass.
 
 
I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed white. A few touches of glitter added on the flowers and sun to give it a nice summer sparkle. :)  I love coloring stamped images!
 
Have you played the Spectrum Noir Challenge this month? Our theme for July is "Summer"  You still have time! Get all the details HERE.
Have a great weekend!

Just delightful Lori. Teal and orange is one of my favourite colour combos and you have used it so creatively here.
