Anyway I am bit last minute this week as I am only just getting round to posting this card for the http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/ from the 2nd of July.
I decided that I would use up some of the things in my 'I know these will come in useful box'
I again chose one of the lovely Faye Whittaker 'All Our Yesterdays' chipboard tags as the main image and to make it of the correct size to sit on the card I mounted it on some off cuts of various blue and yellow papers that were in the 'come in useful box'
whilst searching through there I came across the chipboard clouds and sun. They hadn't been painted and I didn't have the right colour paints in my box so I raided my box of nail varnishes. This lead to a temporary banishment to the patio as my husband really can't stand the smell of nail varnish so these were painted whilst I sat in the sun after work earlier this week. I'm quite pleased with the results.
The background paper is a cloud design that I get from a local craft supplier and I usually use it for doing inserts for my cards but it has been promoted to the front page for this design.
The blue diamond design was another off cut from another project and along with the greeting I found them in my 'come in useful box'
It reminds me of a lovely sunny day at the seaside and after all the rain today and more of the same forecast for tomorrow, it's a welcome sight.
At least with rain forecast tomorrow once the weekly shop is done I'll have the perfect excuse for neglecting the garden and doing some crafting.
