Flowers in her hair....

Good morning!  Our weather is beautiful right now....hot but not too humid.  Perfect for those enjoying a bit of holiday...especially the campers.  I'm not going anywhere, just taking it easy and visiting with family, and waiting for my surgery.  It is now to be the end of October, but I am still hoping for an earlier cancellation. 


Today's card uses an image from Sweet Pea Stamps, titled Forget Me Nots, by Norma Burnell.  Coloured with copics, I've then added some pearls for the flower centers.

I finally made use of these pretty papers from the Basic Grey Out of Print collection, one for the background and one for the die cut frame.  I was quite surprised with how the paper gives the frame a metallic look. 

The die used is from Joy Crafts (Lacey Square Frame) and the sentiment is from Verve Stamps (Birthday Surprise).
