The bi-weekly challenge at  Art Impressions is currently Sweet Summertime . I dusted off a retired image (which I LOVE) and created a fun ocean themed card perfect for the Summertime.  My card features Penguin Snorkler  which is a retired AI image. The image was embossed with black  powder from Close To my Heart. Copic Markers were used for the fins and mask. A bubble emboss folder, brads, a wave die and light chalking on the image finish the card. Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!

Jodie's creativity is endless and each Tuesday she treats Bugaboo Fans with several new images. (How does she do it?!) The design team is featuring a sweet little girl image this week. I've chosen the pre-colored image for my project.  Sometimes its fun to step out of the standard A2 size card and create  a shaped card.  The image inspired the circle  shaped card.  A machine stitched border, ribbon and heart brads finish the card. Be sure to stop by the Bugaboo Shop and take advantage of the Christmas in July sale which runs all month.  I'm also sharing my card with the following: Work it Wednesday:  June - Dies or stencils Cute Card Thursday Challenge:  #435 In the Round Word Art Wednesday:  Anything Goes #240 - 241 Simon Monday Challenge:   Add Some Texture   (ribbon and brads)
