Summer flutterbys

Good Morning Peeps, thanks so much for all your lovely comments and thoughts on my last post and I admit to having a few smiles as I read your ideas on what the ladies were drinking................iced tea of course, why on earth didn't I think of that instead of letting my secret out of the bag ?

Bad, bad blogger this last few days, so sorry for the lack of visits but I have been so busy making  samples for Create and Crafts Christmas Launch week which starts tomorrow. There was a delay with the stamps arriving as the courier apparently lost the parcel so there was not much time to turn the work around. I will share a few of the rather nice stamps very shortly.

Christmas in June always seems a bit previous to me, mind you I had a magazine Christmas consignment a few weeks ago so should be in the swing of it by now. Always seems I have trouble focusing on the season so early and especially before I've even had my holiday and then by the time it comes to needing cards myself I am well and truly fed up with season and want to move on to Spring.

So I have a little share and a mid month reminder about our challenge at Penny Black and More and Stamping Sensations, the theme at the first is CAS and the second is Summer Blooms, do pop over to the challenge blogs to see what the DT have created and to check out the fabulous prizes on offer.

My card above for Penny Black and More is another in the Stampington magazine collection which I posted at the beginning of the month. The whole set used distress inks Mowed Grass and Salty Ocean and the same Penny Black stamp sets as the brief was to create a set of cards using the same products and colourway. I used the corner stamp to create the band across the bottom alternating the colours, then inked the butterflies with the same inks and spritzed with water before stamping, a few pearls for the thorax's and wire antenna..........not totally convinced this is allowed in CAS cards  mind you.

Have a good day everyone.
