PNDC #6 - Summer Lovin'

Happy Monday Everyone....

It's time for another challenge over at the Paper Nest Dolls Challenge Blog! The challenge is Summer Lovin'.  I don't know about you but here in Quebec, Canada summer is taking it's sweet time to get here.  We have had lots of rain.  With the rain came lots of flowers though.  I have always associated summer with sun and lots of flowers.  Which inspired me to go a little outside of the box and create something with flowers.  The lucky winner for the challenge will receive this batch of goodies!!!!

For my card I used the image "Hippie Chick Ellie".  Isn't she super cute?!?  I loved coloring her with promarkers.  The papers are from the 6x6 paper pad - My Mind's Eye - Mabel.  The little flowers are from I Am Roses and the super big one is from Prima.  TFL!

 

Now head on over to The Paper Nest Dolls Challenge and see what the rest of the team did and while you are there take a look at the rules on the sidebar.  Happy crafting!
