It's my last day alone before the two weeks of the school holidays start. Its pouring with rain and the perfect day to make some cards and catch up on some tv. Brilliant!
I'm skidding in under the wire for the Uniko Challenge. Their theme is 'Anything Goes with the optional twist of Masculine'. I've only made probably 3 masculine cards ever, so decided to give that a miss and play with some flowers instead:
I wanted to make a one-layer card with Summery colours and lots of flowers. Ticked all those off my list with this one!
It was very simple to make. I stamped the solid flower from Uniko 'Flower Power #5' in alternating inks and then used a mint colour to add the middle part of each flower. After stamping the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in black, I added a few co-ordinating sequins for a bit of interest.
I'm going to also link this to the Simon Says Stamp - Monday Challenge where their link is 'Summer'. I can't wait for warmer days and flowers to be filling my gardens!
And will also join the House of Cards - July Challenge where their theme is some gorgeous strawberries (how I miss those!) and colours:
Back to my card making and tv watching I go. Being able to record all my favourite programmes is fantastic but its so easy to get behind. I have about 3 weeks to catch up on, will have to stay up four days straight to watch it all!!
Take care
Shona
