Birthday Bunting and Summertime Blues

Another weekend almost over, why do they always go so quickly? I cant believe it's Sunday evening already. The weather has typically been bad although it did mean I got this card finished and another card started, nothing beats a wet and windy day to get some card making done. I also finished the housework, went grocery shopping and made dinner, so I haven't only been crafting (mmm...a bit defensive I think!).

The husband is happily watching the football and I've been blog hopping and seeing what wonderful cards have been created. I am always amazed at the amount of very talented individuals that are in blog land and happy that it is shared this with us. My follower list is getting huge... I wonder if it has a limit? I hope not as I'm sure there are many more out there that as yet I've not discovered. I finished this earlier this afternoon and started on another which was a sketch challenge but I kept adding to it, sometimes I just dont now when to stop! I'm back to my favourite style of the 'more the merrier'. 

Summer colours and Bunting was the theme for this one as I had some free papers from a magazine that I liked the bright colours of and there has been lots of inspiration around with the Royal jubilee etc. Although I went for soft summer colours rather than the patriotic ones. Tilda looks all set for a summer barbecue or party with her wine and picnic basket, wish it was me... Where is our summer?

I used the following-

  • Stamped Tilda- coloured with promarkers and glitter.
  • Textured blue card stock for layering and the bunting 
  • Bunting- me to you butterfly paper, card stock,bakers twine and blue gems
  • Blue bunting and gingham  papers -cool Britannia pack-freebie(magazine) 
  • Blue with blue polka dot paper-me to you
  • White with blue  polka dot paper -not sure sorry ? 
  • Die cut flowers with pearls added -stash
  • Punched border
  • Grossgrain ribbon and bow
  • Blue pearls,decorative pin, butterfly charm- eBay purchases
Sorry the photographs are not great and over exposed I should take them again but i would need to recharge my camera and it takes forever.
