This week at Papercraft Star we have this Pretty summertime photo for you to use as inspiration! You can either choose Colors, Cool, Drinks, Fruit, or Picnic.
Here's my card:
The photo made me think of a pool party where, of course, you must have umbrella drinks! I also used this patterned paper because it has all the bright colors of summer.
My fruit comes by way of a lime in the margarita! I even added "salt" to the rim!
I made this bright yellow bow using seam binding that I colored with a copic marker. I used pinking shears on the left edge to match the diamond pattern in the patterned paper. I also tied some twine around it to "tie in" the kraft color to the kraft paper with the drinks.
I hope you like my card! Now go see what the other members of the DT (listed in my sidebar) have made and come play with us at A Papercraft Star!
