Summer Wishes

In spite of the weather and temperatures we have in my part of the country,  I wanted to make a summercard. 

Looking through my Magnoliaimages, I felt a little "mock" from some of them (especially the bathing-dressed ones), so I chose this adorable flowergiving Tilda :)

Last Saturday I got my new DistressMarkers, and (of course!) had to try them immediately. 

It was real fun trying them, but, for now, I think I'll stick to my beloved ProMarkers...

The papers are from MajaDesigns Vintage Summer Basics collection.

The fence in front of the image is a Magnolia DooHicky Die. The white painted leaves are from a Spellbinders set (Foliage). The butterflies, on both in-and outside are made with Martha Stewart punches. The butterfly on the frontside has got a solid layer of glitterstickles in the sticklescolours as close to the papers colours I could find  (cottonCandy and BabyBlue).

I gave the roses a touch of  Diamond Glitterstickles.

All paperedges are lightly distressed, then inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.

Behind the image you can see the cheesecloth.

on this close-up you might see the LiquidPearls (WhiteOpal)

Here's the inside of the card - I used a Martha Stewart PATP-set for the writing panels:

To make the backside of the card I used the same sketch, from Sketchy Colors, as on the front:

A lot of challenges inspired me to make this summercard, 

and helped me decide what to use and how to use it.

I hope I haven't broken too many rules entering the card into all these challenges - I love challenges, but sometimes I mix up the rules... I'm really sorry if I've done it now ;)

Thanks a lot for stopping by, I hope you've liked what you've seen
