Hot days of summer...

Well, summer is finally here, though we thought winter would never end!  My gardens are all in, but for some reason, not as colourful as other years.  The flowers come and go so quickly, that if you blink...you miss them!  Maybe they are playing catch up after such a late start.

Our gardens here have a very short season.  We plant in May (hopefully), but with hot dry summers, they are mostly done by September.....and by October we are putting them to bed again.  A lot of work for such a small stretch of time.  I think that is why I enjoy playing with colours....nice bright colours!


So how about a stenciled card with some of these nice bright colours.  Does this not speak summer to you?  No markers or pencils today, just some DI's and a stencil from Crafter's Workshop.  For contrast, I've added some black rub-ons and ribbon, as well as the sentiment.  The letter B is a die cut with some crackle paint...which didn't really photograph that well.

I'll be trying a bit more of this....using my stencils, finally, after doing an on-line course months ago!  And of course, I have a drawer full of product to play with. 

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your day!
