From sweet to sour....

 Hello everyone in blogger land!

Hope everyone is feeling fine this August day (I'd like to say sunny August day but I live in England and therefore its raining... again!)

To cheer me up and to remind me of sunshine and the Mediterranean (I hopefully I can go soon and enjoy the real sunshine and sangria!), I've made a card today using a Pink Fresh studio stamp.

Ingredient list

• Pink fresh studio - Lemons and Blueberry stamps
• Nina smooth Kraft card
• Prismacolour pencils
• MFT  - little Hello dienamics 
• Ink - lawn fawn jellyfish ink 

A simple CAS design today.  I stamped the image for a no line colouring look. I had to do some stamp surgery though as I haven't got the die and it comes as one big strip.  I wanted them all to be separate so I took my scissors and delicately chopped it up.

 I decided on a kraft background for a change, and dusted of my Prismacolour pencils too.  I needed some colouring therapy, so this image was perfect as it too me about an hour to colour it all in.

The sentiment I cut from a cream card stock four times and layered them together for some dimension on the card.

I'm so pleased with the way the colouring turned out I almost don't want to give this one away. I might have to add it to my shelf of other projects I made and couldn't bear to part with - do you do this too or is it just me?   

Thanks so much for taking the time to read through and look at my makes - leave me a comment, and if you are on Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest, my buttons are to the right so you can follow me there if its easier.

See you all very soon
