This card came about as a result of 3 different challenges:
Ways To Use It - Return of the banner
CASE Study - featuring Joy Taylor, the talented muse for June. I kept the same layout and used the layered medallion and banner elements.
Flourishes "Bring Back Beautiful" - beauty of a rainbow (use at least 3 different hues of colors).
I colored the image with Copics, and because summer picnics conjure up thoughts of gingham and quilts in my mind, I was quick to choose this paper and ribbon! I used the large banner die by 'Lil Inker Designs but didn't want it covering so much of the DP, so trimmed each side by 1/4" and straight stitched around the edges. The medallion was made using Tim Holtz' medallion die on Real Red CS. DP is from the "Handmade" pad by Lily Bee Design.

Oh wow, I love your card! So cute. It just screams summer. I told my kids they could do a lemonade stand this year too. Your card looks so homey and folksy. Love it. Makes me want to have the neighbors over for a tall cool glass of lemonade. TFS
