Good Morning everyone hope you are ok and looking forward to the start of the weekend. Here in the UK it is set to be another damp one!! I do hope the weather improves for the Olympics.
Today sees the start of a new challenge at Cardmadfairy's Digi Days and the theme for this challenge is Summertime. Well when I think of summer it is always of heat and flowers in the garden so I made my card with these two things in mind. However when my husband came home and saw it he said it looked more autumnal!! I really panicked then as I had literally got out of my sick bed to make it and didn't feel up to making another. I started to pull other papers out and re-design but I really wasn't up to it so I have had to go with my original card so apologies if you think it is autumnal although I still maintain orange and red makes me think of the heat!!
I have used Flowers 2 which you can purchase here from Jenni and I coloured the image with just my Prismas for a softer look. The paper is from Doodle Deux by Prima and cardstock from Coredinations. I have cut and matted the image with my Nesties and used a Tonic punch for the flowers which have a Card Candi coloured with Copics in the centre. The fern is a Memory Box die and the corner is by MFT Dienamics. Please pop over to Cardmadfairy's Digi Days and see what the rest of the team have been up to.
That's it for me for today, its my birthday so out for lunch with DH and then out for dinner this evening with my daughter, her partner, DH and my sister! Thanks so much for coming by and I will be back tomorrow - take care xx
