Looking forward to summer...


This simple card is based on this week's Friday Sketcher's Challenge, it's the first card I've finished with images from Friday when my crafting friend visited. The image is by Stampin' Up, inked with Memento ink in London Fog, coloured with Copics. I LOVE this stamp set, seems to be not on sale at the moment...

I've made it a Get Well card to send and I'm entering it for Creative Card Crew where that's the theme for the week, it's also Pile It On's theme for this week. . Paper Sundaes' theme is Distressing and Saturday Spotlight has "do the mess around" which also calls for inking, distressing or tearing.

The image and mat are cut with a deckle edged Nestie, the blue cardstock is dry embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and its edges distressed with scissors and then ink. The summery DP is My Minds Eye, flowers are Prima and sentiment from Cornish Heritage Farms.
