Here comes the sun - or does it?

I've picked bright summer colours for today's card and I'm hoping the weather will follow suit, at the moment the sun is shining but it's raining too.  This card uses some lovely new Flower Doodledallions from Fred She Said, which have a choice of sentiments for the centres as well as a blank.  I've followed quite an unusual sketch from Truly Scrumptious which uses eyelets.  Now I always shy away from eyelets when I can, so this was a great sketch to make me reach for the eyelts and the hammer, which also fits this weeks Shopping Our Stash, where the challenge is to use neglected tools of the trade.

My flower is coloured with Copics and lots of Glossy Accents.  The DPs are Stampin' Up, Artylicious and Basic Grey, I've used a MS bubbles punch, gems and lots of stitching.  Oh, the ribbon is coloured with Copics too.  Hope the sun shines wherever you are today.

My card is for the following challenges:
Shopping Our Stash - tools of the trade
Truly Scrumptious - sketch
Papertake Weekly - here comes the sun
CRAFT - stitching
Annabelle's Stamps - yellow, orange, turquoise

Less Is More - one layer framed

Some days it really is better to walk away from the craft room and today just may be one of them lol!  I wanted to make a one layer card for Less Is More, which needs a frame to it.  I took the opportunity to pull out my new stamps from last week's foray to the Craft Barn, and made a window scene using the blocks and the Tuscany sets, which I was quite pleased with.  So it was annoying, to say the least, to get a socking big mark on the card.

That took ages so I had a change of plan and pulled out the Lindsay Duncan fairy set, made a mask and Distress Inked inside it.  It needed a bit of something else, so I added some Stickles.  Then when I went to photograph it I added Stickles to most of the card, by mistake.  Drat.

The next card looked great, I like the more intense colour.  When I went to take a picture I realised that my mask hadn't covered all of the LH side and there is an inky margin.  Double drat.   At least this one will be salvageable...

And the final card is ok.  No inky marks, no Stickles disasters.  So why oh why will the photo only load to my blog the wrong way round?  This happened yesterday when I was trying to post some of the wedding photos.  Please can anyone tell me what to do to put this right?  PS After rotating the image all the way through 4 turns and saving each time, finally success!

My card is for the following challenges:
Less is More - in the frame
Annabelle Stamps - masking and sponging
Ai Factory - use something new (stamp)
Crafty Sentiments - add some sparkle
