Welcome to The Cameo Spotlight Challenge #1

Are you guys ready? I know I am!  This week's challenge at The Cameo Spotlight is to use a card with the theme of "Summertime."  When I came across the image in the Silhouette store I was touched.  How sweet and innocent does this little boy look? It reminded me of my carefree summers as a kid. I imagine he's hanging out on his summer break, doing what little boys do.  I of course had to work a little magic - I transformed the image into a sketch image and then flood filled it with the sketch fill feature. The image was printed on vellum and then cut out using my Cameo.  You  guys know how much I love to rock the Print & Cut.  And hey, this is something else new - it's an easel card - my very first!  I've been wanting to do this for a while and I finally got around to it.  By the way, the sentiment is actually a line from the lyrics from one of my favorite songs - Summertime by George Gershwin.

Paper:  DCWV Cardstock & The Dazzle Stack, and Mat Stack, Bazzil White Smooth Cardstock
Metal Flowers:  Momental (I found them at Michael's)
