Summer time Guest designing for Crafty Boots

This is my second post of the morning...a first for me...if you are looking for my Country View DT post just follow the link here.

Hello and welcome to my blog, especially if you are a first time visitor. I am delighted to be guest designing today over at Crafty Boots today where their current challenge theme is Summer fun.

Summer has certainly arrived all around me. My flowers in the garden are flourishing and we are enjoying lots walks.

I recently made 4 summer backgrounds using the same techniques as I used for my May Tim card. For my card today I chose to use the bottom left background card.

Here it is in close up. If you would like to see a step by step of the process this is the link here.

and here is my completed card. I just added a crackled butterfly and a die cut sentiment.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

Little Claire's 2/3 create a scene
Happy Little stampers mixed media  texture
Noor summer
Stamping Sensations 3/3 feature a creature
Our creative corner a beautiful mess
A Vintage Journey texture or embossing paste I used TH texture paste through my TH alphabet stencil.
Simon says stamp Wednesday 1/5 add shimmer my card has a wonderful gold shimmer from my metallic distress spray
Penny Black and More 2/3 flower power
Dies R us butterflies
Creative Inspirations bingo  I have gone through the middle diagonal....white (tape background), flowers, shabby


Thanks to the ladies over at Crafty Boots for inviting me today and I hope that you have enjoyed seeing my contribution to their summer challenge. It would be lovely if you can join in the fun...here is the link to their blog where you can find out all the details.
