Summertime WLSC

  Hi Everyone my DT make today is for  

We Love Stamping

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme from Anesha

 
 
Wanting to find Summertime in my stamps, meant a search, and I was happy to find this fun image. I stamped it onto linen card and coloured the image with DI's. I then used a stencil to add clouds and coloured more around the water splashes, next was the grass. I wanted to add more, I found these birds, and the sentiments, that came with the image stamp. 
 
I suppose it sounds silly to say "summer is in the air, enjoy the day," but, here in the UK, we usually have a wonderful summer day, then rain the next. At least that was what it was when I made this card. I thought it may be a giggle. 
 
Next I added a stamped flower and found a die sun, I added two layers of it, coloured with slightly different yellows, I also added 3D glaze to it. The image layer was then layered onto summer floral paper to tie in with the colours I used. After it was made I added more white onto the water with Posca pen. 
 
I hope you are having plenty of Summer days, not with the record highs we've had, they were a little too much for us Brits, with the high humidity we have.

Fabulous fun card Faith, love the really cute House Mouse image _ I remember the hot Summer of 1976 and we had a great water pipe leak in the road and all day it was full of kids splashing about and having fun.

Perfect card for a summer theme, Faith! Those little mice look like they are having loads of fun. Weather here in the Pacific Northwest can be just like your weather: sunny and beautiful one day, wet and rainy the next!

that's a brilliant summery image. You can't go wrong with housemice, they always bring a smile. I like the sentiment and little extras too. Right now I am wishing for rain again, my garden is wilting badly xx
