Scrappin' Chics Challenge - June Project #3

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome to my 3rd and final 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 another card. I can't believe how many different Cricut cartrdiges have a sun on them!




Details:
* White card base is a standard A2 card
* Patterned paper is from DCWV "Citrus" stack (I love the glitter that they add!)
* Colored cardstocks are from my scraps
* Sun is cut at 3 inches using "Create A Critter" cartridge
* Face is stamped using Peachy Keen "Everyday Character Faces", used white gel pen for the eyes and pink chalk for the cheeks (Aren't these faces cute?!)
* Used dimensional foam tape to attach the center of the sun, and added some white stitching to the base layer
* Ribbon is from my stash
* Sentiment is from Pink By Design "Enjoy the Journey" stamp set
* EK Success punch with the edges inked, and attached using dimensional foam tape
* Imaginisce i-Rock used to add turquoise gems to the sentiment

Be sure to stop on by The Scrappin' Chics Challenge blog and link up your sun project. I can't wait to see what you create!


I'll be entering this card into these challanges:
Getting Cricky - Face It challenge
Celebrate the Occasion - Challenge #19, Celebrate Summer
Fantabulous Cricut - Summer Fun

Thanks for stopping by!
