Here comes Summer
Hello folks, and a warm welcome to my new followers and I hope you enjoyed your visit. My title is very tongue in cheek as the sun here is blinking through the sky. My card to-day is very vintage and I have used a good number of techniques on it too. My base card is cream hammered card with a layer of gold card matted on top. I made the background paper using the resist and distressed it with inks. The Image is a stamp from Crafty Individuals, and a pleasure to stamp. I used promarker to add some colour along with glitter on the wings. I put it on a Darice embossing folder that I cut out and again I distressed it and added a few pearls. My butterfly and dragonfly have been done with grunge paper and crackle accents. I've also added a little posy set on cream lace that I tea dyed. My sentiment is from LOTV and the ribbon and pin is from my stash. Whilst I've been writing the sun is shining and we have lovely blue sky, I hope it lasts. Hope you all enjoy your week-end and manage to get in some crafting too.

Beautiful card Rita. We are experiencing an Indian summer here at the minute - scorching sunshine and hardly a breeze. A bit too late for holidays but welcome all the same. x

Hi Rita, your card is stunning and it just oozes vintage. That CI stamp is so beautiful and I love the way you have die cut the edge of it. Also the lace is really pretty and of course, I love the butterfly too. Beautiful. Crafty hugs, Anne x

Hi Rita,
what a really lovely card. I love everything about it. Sorry I'm late visiting your blog. I have been making a wedding box with a wedding cake inside, just like the one I made my granddaughter for her wedding. Quite involved and fiddly but worth it. I entered my granddaughters one into the Robyn' Fetish Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
