I have tried another type of style for my card today. I don't really like to do the same type of card all the time, variety is the spice of life after all. I really love this type of card and I see it on quite a few different blogs so I have had a go.
Actually now I see it today I think there is too much white space I should have put the image more to the left! Oh well you live and learn! The image is by Clear Dollar Stamps and I have coloured it with my Copics with some Glossy Accents to the pips. The paper is from Echo Park called Splash (double sided - groan). The sentiment comes with the image and I have matted it onto a Spellbinders banner. I have embossed the white card and hand cut the banner shape. The Card Candi has been coloured with Copics to match the paper and then covered with Glossy Accents. I would like to enter the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp - Let's Get Fruity
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Summer
Digi Doodles Challenge - Summertime
Paper Crafting Journey - Summer
Willow Sketchie - Sketch or Summer Holidays (I have gone with summer holidays)
Loves Rubber Stamps - Sweet Summer Days

Whenever I see watermelon it always reminds me of my son, he used to love it and I always got it for him in the summer. In fact I still buy it now if he is coming up although last time he never ate any and I ended up throwing the blasted thing away!! It also tends to remind me of Las Vegas because when we go for a buffet brunch I always have watermelon after reading on the plane that it was full of antioxidants or something!
My step grandchildren Max and Emma are coming for a sleepover tonight so we are taking them out to tea and no doubt we will be having fun and games on the Wii later. Hope you have a good day wherever you are, thanks so much for looking and take care xx
