Now for me Summer means one thing and that's music lots of it played outdoors usually in fields or parks. I guess it has something to do with me being a child of the 60's and remembering 'The Summer of Love', Woodstock, Monterey, and the Isle of Wight Festivals being on the news and my wishing I was old enough to be there. Once I was old enough I made it a point of doing what festivals I could at least once, Glastonbury, Reading, Live 8, and numerous others. So when I saw the Eleanor Free Spirit digi over at Lacy Sunshine it had Summer written all over it. In fact it has become a firm favourite.
I decided to go with a stepper card to enable me to add lots of embellishments. The backing papers were freebies from a magazine and are called 'Beach Babe' by Fancy Pants
I decided that I would go with a 60's theme of bold colours to compliment the image and used spectrum Noirs to colour her.
Hair LY2, TN2, GB3, GB4
Skin FS1, FS2, FS3, TN1,
Eyes BT1, TB1,
Glasses FL2, OR1
Clothes PL3, PL4, PL5 TB1, TB2, TB3
Grass LG1, LG2, DG1
Flowers FL2, OR1, GG2,PL3
I also coloured some scraps of white card in PL3 and FL2 and used these to die cut the guitar and the treble clefs, which were then coated in a gloss varnish. I added the little wooden flowers as they were so stylised they fitted well with the 60's theme as did the plastic peace symbol which was rescued from a charity shop jewellery tray. The greeting above Eleanors head is computer generated, and the Flower Power sentiment is from the Lacy Sunshine hippie bits set.
Finally no summer music festival is complete with out your wellies well not in the UK at any rate. I cut these from a scrap of garden themed backing paper and coated them with varnish.
