Dreaming of Summer

Last week the weather here was fantastic – the temps got to 24 degrees, we worked in the garden, bbqed and even ate outside. This week it is cold, we have had a lot of rain and I just can’t wait for summer.

Dreaming of Summer is the title of this gorgeous image from All Dressed Up, which I was lucky enough to win recently. I coloured it with Copics, and die cut around it with a stitched circle die. The papers, lace and pearls are from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated. I cut two Butterfly Flourish dies from Joanna Sheen and placed a second butterfly, distressed and glittered, on top of the base ones. The flowers, from the Ribbon Girl, are placed over a Lavish Branch from Memory Box and a Fanciful Flourish from Cheery Lynn dies.

I would like to enter my card into these challenges –

As You Like It Challenge – Favourite Stamp Brand and Why. ( It’s a really hard choice – but I do love All Dressed Up digis as they’re perfect for cards for girls – young and older – and I make a lot of girly cards. The images look good on their own – or embellished with die cuts and/or flowers.) http://asyoulikeitchallenge.blogspot.fr/2017/03/favourite-stamp-brand-and-why.html

Well I’m certainly not dreaming of summer, as the heat just makes my suffering 10 times worse lol! I’m the only person who appreciates the winter!
