I do hope everyone enjoys your week and enjoy all that sunshine. All I can think about that it's coming up for the shortest day on 21st June so that means we get more daylight hours and it won't be long before summer is on our doorstep again. Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs to everyone.

It's Summer

It's Summer and time to have fun!

Good afternoon everyone it's now Sunday afternoon here in New Zealand, it's meant to be Winter and it isn't that cold I'm in a T-Shirt and jeans and it's rained all night. So I thought about it long and hard NOT and came to the conclusion that it's a good time for me to be blogging rather than doing the washing. I'm entering this card into three challenges today

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge #54 'Happy Birthday Card'

Happy Birthday

Good morning here it is Friday already where has this week gone? too quickly for me I had so much to do!! Well when I saw this lovely sketch from Arlana I knew straight away what I was going to make, my dear friend was having a birthday the next day and we were having brunch and a girls get together. Started a 10am and I got away about 3.30pm that afternoon. She is a very close friend and also a Horticulturist and trained Florist and I know she likes Tulip's. But she doesn't do over the top cards with too many details.

Here's my take on Sketch # 54.

Card Recipe:

Base: White SU card stock

Papers: Purple Craft Creations Paper, Apple Green Magnolia Paper, Mauve Paper

Patterned Paper: Purple and White paper is from Rosies's Studio Serenity Series

Image: Single Tulip from the wonderful Chris Dark from Sketching Stamper

Coloured: Copic Markers, White Gel Pen

Embellishments: Ribbon, Gems and Charm from my stash

Tools: Cuttlebug and Textile Texture embossing folder.

Thanks for looking everyone and I hope you all have a wonderful warm sunny weekend as it's winter cold and frosty here in New Zealand it was -3 this morning.
