dreams of summer

Hello there! How are you? We are back home now after a few days away visiting Shaun's mum and brother's family. Its been a lovely few days. My mum came with us too and we had lots of fun. We managed to get out every day and did plenty of walking - not too many complaints from the girls which is great!

I made a card in the attic tonight - trying to get caught up and get ahead really. This is a just because card - I've had these stamps almost a month nd not inked them up until tonight - love them. They are from Paperartsy - eclectica-rubber-stamp-sheet-by-kay-carley.


I masked off the outer edges and used distress to build up the middle portion. Then I did the stamping.


Finally I restamped the flower heads and stuck them to the card.

I have a few pics to share with you from the last few days...


     

Hee hee - that one of Penny is sooooo funny! These were all at Biddulph Grange today - the colour in the China garden was amazing!!!

Better get off to sleep I think!

Hugs
