A burst of summer colour...

I love this stamp and used a little artistic license to colour the flowers so they look summery instead of spring flowers.


The image is coloured with promarkers and edged with green versamagic ink. I've used My Mind's Eye papers that were a freebie with this months Cardmaking and papercraft mag. The bow is recycled from a box of chocolates. Iv'e added some paper flowers and a beaded flowers. The beaded flower is made from size 11 seed beads using netting stitch with a beaded wire stem and a brooch pin on the back. Its a little pressie for my friend so Ive just pinned it to the card. I haven't added a sentiment yet as I've got the perfect stamp somewhere. it says 'Bouquets of Birthday wishes' and I thought it would be lovely with this image but can I find it? The craftroom gremlins have been at it again lol.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Penny Black at Allsorts: A burst of summer colour
Allsorts Challenge: Summer days
One stop Craft challenge: blue, green pink and a hint of red + flowers and bling
Paper Sundaes: Make your own flowers
Fab'n'Funky: Reuse or recycle (my choccy box bow)

Thanks for looking, the weekend starts here lol. I've had a really busy weekend at work so I'm looking forward to hiding in my craftroom for most of the weekend. Hope you have a good one
