Cut Colour Paste

Midway Inspiration at Path of Positivity.  This month's theme is a mood board which you can see here.

I have used images from Flat Friends, KennyK Stamps and Jellypark Friends.  Coloring is with copic markers.

I die-cut a heart (cut), scribbled a copic (colour) and added some glitter adhesive (paste)

http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/die-ing-for-punch.html

I have used a "math" themed paper from a paper pad by DCWV called A Type of Art.  The other piece behind the image is an offcut from another card - I think it might be one from MME but I can't be sure of that.  The image is from Jellypark Friends and the sentiment is from Create with TLC.  Die-cutting is with a Spellbinders rectangle die and a Spellbinders Labels die.  I have embellished the dies with some Stickles - Waterfall.

Childhood Memories of Ice-cream Trucks

When I was younger, there was nothing better than the sound of the Mr Whippy van to signal that it was summer.  This image brings back a lot of fond memories:

De Creatieve Zebra - Summer and ice-creams
http://decreatievezebra.blogspot.co.nz/2013/07/challenge-27-zomerse-kaart.html

I have used a paper from a Raspberry Road Designs paper pad called "Summer Goodness".  I have also added two diagonal strips of Trendy Tape (similar to Washi Tape).  The image is from Jellypark Friends and very much reminds me of my childhood.  I have coloured with copic markers - I know I used G000, YR000, C3, C5 on the van and E00 for skin but forgot to write down the clothing colours!  I have added some pre-coloured ribbon roses with leaves and two clear heart rhinestones.  I have added some Eucalyptus Stickles to the roses and a smear of it under the hearts.
