Good morning. Finally summer has arrived and boy is it hot. David my hubby went for a trial flying lesson yesterday, brought for him by my son and daughter in law for Father's Day and what a beautiful day he chose to do it. We all had a lovely time sitting in the field watching him whilst Harley merrily crawled around and ate the grass lol plus David thoroughly enjoyed the experience too so well worth it.
It is the first Saturday of the month and that mean's it is time for another challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge and this month we are challenged to use the 'Colours' shown below.
We have a great sponsor this month in Hannah Lynn who gave us some images to play with but I unfortunately couldn't get them to print properly. I have a new printer and I think the settings are not set correctly yet and don't think it has anything to do with the image's themselves.
For my card I was very unsure where I was going with it to start with but it just seemed to evolve and now I love it! I cut the background on my Silhouette Cameo using the 'Swirl Background' by Loni Leah Designs and the 'Underwater Scene' which is by Sarah Bailey. I have used another of my adorable Elisabeth Bell stamps, this one is called 'Oceanessa Mermaid'. The card looks a little spotty in the photo, this is due to it having been sprayed with a glitter but it just doesn't show the shine.
Supplies:-
6" Square Card Blank - Boyes
Card Stock - Bazzill
Sentiment - Paper Pretties 'Birthday Sentiments'
Medium - Promarker & Flexmarkers
Promarkers & Flexmarkers Used:-
Skin - Oatmeal, Apricot & Blush

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
