Enjoying Summer Yet

Hello and what a wet morning we are having, thought i would pop on and share a photo with, you from this time last year,  walking to nursery this morning reminded me of being in the back garden and the sun was so hot that me and Holly had the pool out and umbrellas all over the garden for shade, (my back garden is a bit of a suntrap) and we had a mock Glastonbury, you will notice, most of the festivals have been cancelled this year due to some areas having a flood warning.  But we shouldn't let that stop us from having some fun still.

Holly in the garden

In between the rain and sun we did get some playtime though, but for today she gets to play indoors with her friends come on Summer get a move on.

Gerbera challenge 114

DSCF1397

I absolutely adore this stamp from wood ware, I made this card for my sisters 7th wedding anniversary, I loved it so much that I went and ordered the rose and lily singles from the same collection, a really nice big bloom with lovely big petals to colour in. I coloured it in using pastel pink, sun kissed, and  putty pro-markers to blend the petals, the background uses mica pigment paint to give a paler image with the same stamp.

I am entering this card in to http://ilovepromarkers.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/challenge-114-flower-power-floral-image.html

Good luck to all the other entries, there is some really gorgeous cards.
