Here Comes Summer

Today's post is for Mo's DP2 Challenge blog and the theme is "Summer." Their DT has some awesome entries and makes me want to acquire several more images as I dream of the good 'ol summertime. I colored this adorable little giggling girl with my Copics but wanted to incorporate my yummy new Jillibean Soup, "Blossom Soup" papers, so I fashioned her skirt out of the happy flower print. I started out just giving her shiny red shoes and then decided the cherries needed some popping up and showing off with my Glossy Accents as well. Summer fruits are definitely one of the highlights of summer, are they not? The sentiments are from Flourishes "Peaches and Cherries," and the cherries along the side are from SU's "Tart and Tangy." Be sure to check out the entries for this challenge - they will put a smile on your face. Thank you for stopping by and have a beautiful May day.
