Card Design: Deedee's Digi of the Month Challenge...June

Hey there and a happy Thursday night to you all!  It is time to post my project for the Digi of the Month Challenge taking place over at Deedee's Digis.

In order to enter the progressive challenge, you must either have received the latest image by having participated in the previous month or you can buy the stamp for the current month's challenge.  Everyone who enters and follows the rules is a winner because you automatically get the stamp for the next month's challenge.  Stop by the site and check out the rules for yourself.  Be sure to check out the store while you are there too.  Currently there are a few sets available for free and of course there are some wonderful ones available for purchase in the store.  

As of this month, all customers are now able to download directly, regardless of whether they live in the European Union or not!  So, now there will only be one link to each item.

 
Right now it is time to check out the awesome set participants got to work with this month...

Diver Daniel is such a sweet little guy.  I love that he comes in two different poses and there is even a fish and a mini coral reef included in the set.  All of these elements help to provide such versatility to the sets.  As always, Deedee's sets come with both outline and coloured versions to provide you with even more variety.  If you did not participate in last month's challenge, you can still purchase this set for just $1.25 during the month of June at the store. You can find it HERE.

Here are my card and details...

General Information: 

• This card has been created 100% digitally and then printed and assembled.

 

FRONT

Digital Image Details: 

• Diver Daniel:  You can find this set in the store.  Details above.  I used the coloured version from the set to once again help save me some time. 
• The coral reef background is from a public domain image picked up at Pixabay.  The original contributor is joakant.

Digital Embellishments: 

• The pennant shapes are created from a template designed by Marisa Lerin, Pixel Scrapper.  I overlaid them with a texture from Cruzine's Designs obtained as a freebie through Deal Jumbo. 

INSIDE

Digital Sentiment Details:

• This great sentiment is from Imagine That! Digis by Kris.  You can find it in the Poolside Penguins set.  Click on the watermark below to find this set in the IT store.

OVERALL

Paper Products: 

• Card, image and sentiment bases:  Michael's Recollection's Cardstock, white.

Digital Paper Products:

• The background used on the front and inside are from the Scribble Doodles Designs set I created called Sizzlin' Summer.  You can get it in the Textures only pack for $1.99 or as part of the complete set of both patterned and textured papers for just $3.99.  Click on the watermarks below to find either set in the Scribble Designs store.

 Digital Embellishments: 

• The shadows to give each element some depth were created with a layer style from Sheila Reid, Pixel Scrapper.
• The shapes used for matting in behind the image and sentiment are simple shapes created in Photoshop Elements.
