A chilled out day and a wedding card.

Hello Lovelies! How are you? I've had a lovely day today and enjoyed a swim in Lake Windermere - it wasn't too deep in the area I swam so I felt confident all the time - the funiest thing was putting my wetsuit on - blimey - I was worn out once I had done that!! But it was brilliant. And the swim was so refreshing - I think I will be doing that again as soon as I can!!!

So today I have the last piece to show you that I have done for the DT call over at the inkettes on facebook. I decided to use a stamp set and make a card that I cut using my hougie board.


One of my friends is getting married soonish so I wanted to be prepared and thought this was the ideal stamp set to use.


The main image was coloured with spectrum noir pencils. The bunting was coloured with distress inks and distress pens.


I don't know what the colour theme for the wedding will be - or indeed if there will be one - so I went with the purples and greens/blues. I think they look very summery!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:


Take care and thanks for any comments you choose to leave!

Hugs
