Dreaming of summer

Hello lovely people,

Time has flown by yet again and it's time for a new challenge at Top Tip Tuesday.  This time our theme is...

FAVOURITE COLOUR COMBO

We are sponsored by
The East Wind
with a prize of 3 digital images of the winner's choice

So, what's my fave colour combo?

Pink, of course!

Ok, I know that's just one colour, not a combo!  I have a few colours I like to team up with pink but at the moment I am really loving pink and blue.

Summer birthday card in pink and blue

And you can tell how sick I am of cold winter weather as I have gone for as summery an image and card as possible!


I had the idea to pop the fence die cut up on foam pads to add some dimension and it worked so beautifully; I do love it when a plan comes together :-)

I brushed some Wink of Stella over all the flowers but can you see it in the photos?  Nope!

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,




Challenges I am entering;
1.  As You Like It (matt or shiny? - matt all the way for me because it gives a 'softer' look to my cards, even the Wink of Stella is a really soft subtle sparkle!)

3.  Winter Wonderland (lots of layers)
4.  Simply Magnolia (anything goes)
