Summer fields for Country View Challenges

Hello and welcome to our 6th challenge of the year from Country View. How the months have raced by. For June we would like to see your "Summer field" inspired projects. The details and my teamies projects for more inspiration can be found here;

During Lockdown our verges have not been trimmed although our parks have been kept pristine so I am not complaining. The weather for the last 10 weeks has been just amazing and I have so enjoyed being out in my garden and the local area. The interesting thing with our street's grass verges is that they have become miniature summer fields to me and inspired my make today.
 One of the very pretty plants to see ,and yes I know it's classed as a weed, are the dandelion heads.

 My little granddaughter loves to blow these.
 and of course my sweet granddaughter is called Daisy.
So much beauty in my grass verge summer fields.
 I remembered that I have a couple of Lavinia dandelion stamps in my stash so I chose a couple to make my card with. Susan does not have my exact one but she does have this one plus lots of lovely Lavinia designs on the website here. 

For some extra fairy magic I decided to ink up the fabulous dragonflies from the Live in the moment Visible image set. 
I made my background with distress spray stains which Susan sells here
I stamped my fairy and the dandelions
 and then added the dragonflies. I also stamped some of the dragonflies onto card and added glossy accents to their wings. Once dry I cut them out.
Here is my finished card.
and a couple of close ups

  3. So very pretty and lovely colours as well, thanks so much for joining in with our 'Magical Worlds' theme at Allsorts challenge.

    One of our paddocks was like a sea of 'clocks' a couple of weeks ago and then gave way to buttercups (not something that should have escaped the weed killer but very pretty).
