More Summer

My card today is for Splitcoaststampers color challenge this week.  I've had this Edna stamp forever (or so it seems) and I knew she'd be great for these nautical colors.

The colors this week are Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel and Lovely Lipstick.  I stenciled the background stripes and used white nautical die cuts.  The sentiment is heat embossed on a Lovely Lipstick banner.

Edna is colored with a combination of Copic Markers colors matched to the challenge colors, Stampin' Blends and Prismacolor pencils.

Above is Edna with just the markers.  On an image such as Stamping Bella images, I can get more detail when I use Prismacolors on top of the markers (below).  For less detailed images the markers themselves give enough detail.

I'm starting to have a problem with just using foam to pop up a die cut.  Sometimes it is fine, but in instances like this one I prefer a solid base.  So I used the die and stacked three Balmy Blue die cuts underneath to add the dimension.

I also entered this card in this week's TicTacToe Challenge using the column on the far right.  This is a fun challenge where you pick your row of elements to challenge you.  It's a bit different than other challenges and I like that!
