Hi Girls
Well as the UK is being subjected to all this rain and wind... I thought I'd do a card to make us think of summer!
I used a Bugaboo image - Flower Pot 1 - and did a bit of paper piecing... and I must admit, I was happy with the result. Totally different than my norm as you know... but a nice change...
The paper is all Echo Park - they are digi's from Jessica Sprague (all from One Buck Wednesday).. And they do come in handy. I've used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the texture, then 3D'd the pot and flowers to give some depth. The sentiment is by Paper Smooches - it's from a set called Sentiment Sampler.. I find this set so useful! It's available from Samuel Taylors here.
I do hope I've brightened your day a bit... (those that needed it).... and I send big hugs to those that have suffered any flooding.. no matter how small.
Happy Crafting..
Gorgeous. Love the dimension on the flowers. It smacks of spring.

Now it's not *completely* different from normal as I can still see some pink on there! I'm loving the bright colours though and the paper pieced flowers - definitely a taste of summer!
