RoP Summertime and Vacation

We are having a new challenge for you over at Roses on Paper. This time it's our sweet Iris who is your hostess. She wanted us to make a card with Summer and Vacation time in mind.

Well - as you might now - Summer in Sweden is either sun and heat or rain. I can tell you this last week we have really had our share of rain. We had a heat wave the week before and everyone was thinking - Oh - it's too hot. Well - now we all are wondering - where's the sun??
So for my card I decided to use Miss Anya from the set Rain, Snow, Shine.



I coloured her with my copics and made the "sun" behind her with copics as well. Chalked around the edges with pine cone. DPs from SU. Added the letters "SOMMAR" = Summer in Swedish from the stickers I received from sweet Serena. Added flowers and the "Hälsning" = Greeting in Swedish.

Hope you like it. Also - I hope that you have not missed the news regarding Belles'n Whistles.

I also want to take the time to congratulate the ladies that made it for the Guest DT spot for August and September:

Lilian of Color to Paper
Lynda of Lynda's Scrappy Place
Krumel of Kruemels Bastel Blog

Kram and hope that you find the time to join us for this challenge.

I hope you are well!? I am just reading this post and the new Elizabeth Bell stamps look absolutely fab I have so much blogging to catch up on! I love your summer card with Anya it is just gorgeous as always.
Big Big hugs, t

Lovely card, love this image. I think it's great that you didn't use the girl with the sunglasses for Summer! Our summers are often wet also (well, this year we can't complain) so I think it is funny!

Beautifull flowers.

You made me curious girl, if I see the mailman I'm sprinting to the door :))) This will cheer me up, I got some bad news lately.

Big hug, Renata
