Summer is definitely here in Chicago!  Hot, humid and hotter!   But it beats winter any day.

Colored with copies,  embossed die is from Reverse Confetti.  DP is DoodleBug.

Image is by Beccy's.  Colored with Copics,  I used Nuvo Glitter Accents as my frosting.  I love the dimension and shimmer.  Pulled out my neglected Minc machine and  foiled a red polka dot background. Celebrate is from Stampin UP.  Image was popped up with fun foam for dimension.
