A summery card for summery weather :)


Today I have quite possibly the quickest card I have ever made to share with you!! I finally got around to doing some blog hopping and discovered that Janet over at Pink Gem Designs is having a DT call!! Now who DOESNT love her images right? I just had to have a go! Well, i only found the DT call after dinner and it ends midnight TONIGHT!!! Aaaaaaaaah, luckily it was a colour challenge, pretty simples really. Pink, Green and Burgandy - thank the lord for Basic Grey Sultry papers - simply PERFECT for this challenge!! Yipeee!!!!!

I spent more time colouring the image than anything else, then as I was actually pretty pleased with the colouring I went for a nice and simple layout to draw the eye to the gorgeous image, ( ok, so yes it is ANOTHER Greeting Farm image - as if that comes as a surprise lol.)

Nice and easy to list the supplies used really - all papers and card are from Basic Grey Sultry range, image TGF, coloured with copics, oooh and a white rubon and Wild Rose Studio brad in the middle of my handmade flower. - Told you it was simples :) - just like me!!!! A lil bit of paper piercing around the edges and its done!!

Im going to enter this beauty into the following challenges :
A Gem of a Challenge - Pink, Green, Burgandy
A Spoonfull of Sugar - Cute and Girly
Papertake - Say it with flowers
Fab and Funky - Make your own embellishments
By the Cute and Girly - Celebrations
Creative Inspirations - Punches or Diecuts - i used a border punch on the central strip and the flower is made from 4 diecut flowers scrunched and layered.
