Summer greens

This weekend I managed to finish this card and do the colouring for my next, which I hope to finish later today, so I  might post twice today... see how I  go. As I struggle with what to do, I did follow a sketch challenge and now I cant remember what it was... Although I have still used it anyway.  Following last weeks easel card, which was a challenge for me, this one was much more simple and was quicker to do, and has a lot less layers! I decided on a bright  green colour scheme with just a hint of yellow which I think is bright and summery. I am definitely more of a bright than a subtle muted card maker I have tried to colour in subtle tones but I cant seem to manage it. The tiny flower brads I  had forgotten that I had, I have not used brads for ages, but thought they went nice with my summer theme. The white heart brad is from a set which I actually thought I would never use as they are quite big, but it was perfect for the sketch challenge of using a heart as the focal embellishment.
