For the Inspiration Challenge, we are visiting Made in B & their Pinterest site where I found THIS wrapping paper that inspired the colors for my card. I had so much fun picking out the paper to go w/ this summer set. Once I had a paper w/ colors similar to my inspiration, I colored the images I wanted to use. Since I also wanted to gold emboss them for that shimmer, I put them in my Misti, stamped them w/ the toffee Memento, colored them, then stamped over them w/ gold ink & embossed w/ gold powder. Copics & embossing powder don't play well together, so this allows me to work around that problem. I also wanted a little something something on the swimsuit, so I used part of a stencil, the gold ink, & a fine brush then heat embossed that, as well.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics, details & Copic colors: The Write Stuff

Sunshine is my favourite colour too, and I am glad you added blues as I love them too. The background paper is beautiful, and I love the collection of summer necessities in the circle. The sun is so cheery. A really joyful card.

What a wonderful card for summer, Julie! I love the neat paper you placed behind the lattice! The swimsuit and accessories, embossed in gold, are great!
