For my project I am using the absolutely adorable new stamp set called Summer Lovin! This set is SO cute!!
I started by watercoloring my background with several shades of blue and green Peerless Watercolors. I let that dry and stamped the Hello Sunshine sentiment with black ink. I colored all of the cute stamps with Copic Markers and fussy cut them out. I adhered them to my card with foam tape to create a cute little Tropical scene! I added a few little highlights and dots to the stamped pieces and also to the background with my gel pen. Lastly I glued a few 4mm clear Pretty Pink Posh sequins around.
