Mellow in yellow...

Hi everyone.  I thought a card with some nice summer flowers would be in order, especially as my own garden is doing so poorly.  The intense heat has been never ending, and Mother Nature has been very lax in her watering.  I'm already starting to cut back the plants, as they are pretty much done.  Here in Canada we are used to having some hot and humid days over the summer, but not like this, where it lasts for the entire summer.  Is this global warming???


Now this is my idea of what summer should be like.  The image is from Connie Fong, and I've coloured her with markers in my favourite colour...Yellow.  I chose to use a white card blank, with die cuts from a floral paper...looks nice and cool to me!!  A few gemstones, a bit of paper candi and a bow, all in blue, complement the paper and image.

Supplies used:
Digi image - Spring Flowers by Connie Fong
Wild Rose Studio - Annabell's Garden paper pad
Spellbinders - Floral Ovals die and Imperial Gold Corners die

So I'm staying inside today, where it's nice and cool.  Take care everyone.
