This card was created using the newly released, Clear Dollar Stamps' June '09 Stamp of the Month Stamp Set, called "Just Shellin' " . Each month, CDS offers a Stamp of the Month Stamp set for FREE with every $50.00 purchase. This set is so Summer-y and adorable to ink up. For this sample, I was itching to break out my new Nestabilities Dahlia die -- when I saw the turtle in this cute stamp set I knew it would be so cute stamped and framed with the Dahlia dies. This card also satisfies another CDS Design Team Challenge: to create our own Designer Paper, and not to use any other Designer Paper. I created the left and right panels using the glass of pink lemonade that is included in "Just Shellin' " and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers. I also added the sentiment "Just Shellin" overtop each glass of pink lemonade to tie it all in with the main stamped turtle with the pink lemonade glass on his back. I added black zig-zag machine stitching to add some whimsy to the design.

Hey Linda, I love how animated this card feels. Your coloring is wonderful with your little doodles. I really like your ribbon treatment on the sides. Wonderful colors, Linda ;D
