Summertime.....where????

Good morning everyone from a damp and overcast Blackpool! Half way through the week already I don't know where the time goes! It certainly goes faster the older you get.

Here is the card I have made for today:


I have used one of my favourite Bildmalarna images I have had quite a while and coloured her with Copics and Prismas.  She has been cut and matted with Spellbinders Nesties.  The papers are by Prima from the Madeline stack.  The butterfly and corner are made with   Dienamics Dies and I have added some Stickles to the butterfly wings.  I have used Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily behind the image and also Cheery Lynn Build a Flower.  The pearl brad, spacer and ribbon are from the Ribbon Girl.  For the ribbon slider I have added gems to it they are both from my stash and so is the pearl rope. I have followed the sketch over at Sketch N Stash and also made my card for the challenge at Bildmalarna which is Summertime (and I would like to know where it is lol!).

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Bildmalarna - Summertime
Sketch N Stash - Sketch my stash is stamp, ribbon slider, pearl rope
Papertake Weekly - Make Your Own
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Inky Impressions - Dies or Punches
The Colour Throwdown - Colours

Well that is it for me for another day. Its damp and miserable here in Blackpool - we always seem to have the opposite weather to the rest of the country!! Hope you all have a lovely day, thanks so much for taking the time to look and take care xx

    Fab card Susan, I love your sweet image and fab flower and butterfly embellishments.
    I don't know how to tell you this but I think summer has well and truly arrived down here in Hampshire - I hate to say it but it's just so hot and not a cloud in the sky, I hope it gets to you soon.

    We finally got a day of sunshine Susan and I was basking in it lol. I love the colours in this card so so gorgeous. Yes I did have an ERCP way back in January, was supposed to have a follow up in March but didn't. Finally got through to hospital today and have an appointment to see the surgeon on 7th August, thank goodness:0 We all eat low fat at home here anyway but at the minute I am only consuming about 800 calories a day.
