Scrappin' Chics Challenge - June Project #2

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome to my 2nd project for The Scrappin' Chics Challenge!

The challenge for June is to create a project and incorporate a sun and an inpirational quote.

For my project, I made a card.



Details:
* 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch card base
* Patterned paper from DCWV "Summer" stack, inked the edges
* Dark blue cardstock from my stash
* Frames cut at 4 inches using "Twinkle Toes" Lite cartridge
* Sun cut at 2 1/2 inches using "Simply Charmed" cartridge
* Semtiment is from Pink By Design "Summer Vacation" set
* "Lemondrop" twine from The Twinery
* Added some stitching using a white gel pen
* Added metallic gems using my i-Rock

You should visit the Scrappin' Chics Challenge blog and check out all the designer's projects, and get some insipration and create something. Be sure to link up your project and be eligible for some great prizes.

I'm going to enter this card into a couple other challenges:
Throwback Thursday - Use a cut from a Lite cartrige
Getting Cricky - Anything Goes!

Thanks for stopping by!
