Hi Everyone my DT make today is for the mid month post for
This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme from Lynn
On another rainy day to make my Summertime card. I found these images and dies that I haven't used before, and thought a little girl in a summer dress on the swings, yep! I'll go with that, and after all the heat, it would be nice to relax.
I die cut the arch from wood grain paper for the swing to hang from, then stamped all the images and die cut them. They were then coloured with DI's.
I coloured the background and added some grass underneath the swing. They were all then attached to the main layer with 3D pads. To bring the colours together I chose the colour of the dress to add a paper layer, and added the main layer to it, which was then attached to the main card.
The sentiment was computer generated in brown to match the arch, then die cut and added to the main card.
I could have added more, but I like the simple, and in a way relaxed layout.
stamps and dies - Crafters Companion "Simple Pleasures"
sentiment die - Card Making Magic Rectangle Nested
inks - Distress inks
background paper - stash

As Brenda says above, a delightful garden scene. Love the layout and it needs no more. RAIN? What’s that then? Haven’t had any for weeks and they’ve now imposed a hosepipe ban! xxx
This is the sweetest card Faith!! I love your summertime little girl on a swing. Adorable! Love, Loll
This is such a sweet and evocative image, Faith! The arch for the swing is a great idea and the soft inking makes for a lovely scene. We finally had some much needed rain yesterday but we're back to the heat today.
Hope you are well,
Hugs,
