Hello Summer -- for Di's Digi Designs Challenges

It's Saturday, and it's time for a new challenge at Di's Digi Designs Challenges.  The theme for the next 2 weeks is "add a sun".  That's a great theme for so close to the start of summer!

I used the darling Poppy Mouse to create this:

I colored Poppy Mouse with Copic markers.  I used several sizes of Spellbinders dies to create the card base and layers.  The sun paper and ombre shades were found at Pixel Scrapper.  The 'Hello Summer' sentiment is a new release at We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It is one of the sentiments found in the Itty Bitty Summer sentiment set. There are 8 sentiments in the set.

The crinkle ribbon is from a company that is no longer in business  -- 3 Girl JAM.  Fortunately, I still have quite a stockpile!

I cut out the sun on my Silhouette Cameo with a file I found in the Silhouette Design Store. That sun is spreading warmth and good cheer to that adorable Poppy Mouse. 

The current challenge at Di's Digi Design Challenges run through June 28, so I hope you find time to join us!  I'd love to see your sunny creations, and we've got the cutest digis you could win for prizes -- like this one!
