Summertime..........

Just popping in, to post a juicy little summertime card I created for a couple of challenges. It seems every challenge I checked out this week is calling for a summer theme, so I will be back over the next couple of days with more variations on that theme.

First up, Digital Pencil Too Challenge Blog are calling for creations using the following photo as inspiration.........

.......I can't help but think of summer with this mouthwatering citrus colour palette, so here's what I came up with..........

The image is of course Mo Manning's Pool Party with the adorable characters Bella and her dog Bronte. I love her podgy little tummy (Bella's that is!) and scrawny little legs - too cute!

I'm also entering this card over at Little Red Wagon, for challenge #41 where the theme is.....of course......you guessed it.........a Summer theme.

I coloured with Prisma pencils and Gamsol, and I wish I could tell you which PP's I used but unfotunately, I dug into my scraps and can't remember!

See you tomorrow.......

Oh to be a tree.......

The challenge this week over at Little Red Wagon was to create something with a tree in there somewhere. I thought that would be fun and stored the idea somewhere in the back of my mind......way back!! Unfortunately, when I finally retrieved and created, I'd sort of...well......missed the challenge (he he). Oh well, you could notice this may happen often. At least I have another card to add to the stash, which, with the amount of Birthday party's my kids are attending recently, is getting a little depleted.

Here goes........

I thought the little sentiment on there would work well as a Congrats/Good Luck type of card and......what.......no colouring?? I felt like I'd returned to JK when I started this as it was very 'cut' and 'paste', that is....I had no tree template or die so I had to go back to basics and........DRAW!! Aaaaaaaaagh, anyone that knows me quickly realizes that I am most definitely not artistic so I am quite proud that I have not embarrassed myself too much.

So, on to the next project. Let's see which other challenge deadlines I can miss...........
