A few summery cards


A few summery cards, even although the weather here has been pretty awful the last 2 days!  We had an almighty thunderstorm last night that lasted a good few hours and flooded quite a few areas.  Here's hoping for a little less rain tomorrow.

Anyway, after making my card for our Dream Valley Summer theme this fortnight, I was "in the zone", so I made these 2 summery cards too.  The first is using LOTV Hello Cupcake, coloured with Promarkers and some paper piecing for her skirt and shoes. 

And I would like to enter the following challenges:
Allsorts - Free and Easy July
Lili of the Valley - Pink and Blue
Bling it On - Anything Goes
*Fab 'n' Funky - baker's Dozen (Food)
*Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

The second card is using an image I haven't used for AGES, Gorjuss Girl Flower Girl, coloured with Promarkers.  I decided to challenge myself this time to use a 5 x 7 card blank instead of my favouirite square ones, but it took me ages of playing with the layout and embellishments until I was reasonably (but not completely) happy with it!!

And I would like to enter the following challenges:
Your Next Stamp - Button Up
Crafts and Me - Summertime
Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Fun in the Sun

 Phew, that's taken ages to do this post!  I'm not used to entering so many  challenges any more....

Anyways, have a lovely rest of your Sunday!

    Wow Susie, you're really on a roll with your summer projects! I'm only just now getting round to looking up my Dream Valley teamie's blogs, so this comment is covering your summer projects on your previous post too. I love that you've done so many different types of project - cards, layout and even jewellery....there's no stopping you! LOL. All very lovely too, nice to see you are so inspired by the theme. Hope you're well. CoB
