Since my first take on the sketch turned out looking nothing like the sketch (which is A-okay!), I decided to have another go at it!
As some of you know, we host a sketch challenge every week on our Mercy Tiara Kit Club Facebook Group, and we give away a $25 gift certificate to the shop to one lucky participant, each month. Here is the sketch for the Summer Vibes release (we’d love for you to play along):
Here is the process video that shows how this one came together:
The Summer Vibes kit features papers from the Retro Summer collection from Simple Stories, and Sunshine on my Mind from Pink Fresh Studio. We pulled in a few pieces from Pink Fresh’s Tourist Mode to emphasize that beautiful blue alpha and to add a touch of travel icons and phrases for those who take road trips or vacations in the summer. We also pulled in a few pieces from Carta Bella’s Happy Crafting which also features beautiful pops of blue. A single piece of Shimelle’s Main Character Energy pulls all the colours together! In addition to the main theme of summer, this kit was designed to have two subtle mini themes: travel, and crafting; but the kit is carefully crafted so these are optional. With the exception of the Happy Crafting sticker sheet in the embellishment add-on, all pieces that have a travel or crafting theme have reverse sides that are unthemed, making the kit a timely and versatile option for all crafters. We hope you find limitless inspiration to scrap your summer memories with this kit! This main kit includes: 12 double-sided patterned papers from Simple Stories, Pink Fresh Studio, Catra Bella, and Shimelle; plus 1 BONUS paper (total of 13 papers this month only!) 1 set Puffy Alpha from Pink Fresh Studio 1 set of Bits and Pieces from Simple Stories Retro Summer Collection 1 set of puffy stickers from Pink Fresh Studio Sunshine on my Mind Collection 1 set of floral ephemera from Pink Fresh Studio Sunshine on my Mind Collection 1 package of exclusive MTK Confetti Mix (2 teaspoons) Exclusive digital cut files (1 background and a set of icons) designed by Nicole Nowosad NEW THIS MONTH ONLY: Register for our Kit-Busting Crop ($25 value) by joining our exclusive Summer Vibes kit-busting Facebook group.

From Shannon: “The “Brighter Days” Kit from @mercytiarakits is full of the good good! I love the mix of @pinkfreshstudio@paigetaylorevans & @simplestories_ product! I grabbed the monthly sketch and this cute photo of my girl and voila! A layout was done just like that!”
