Card Makin Mama's - Summertime

It's Friday and time for a new challenge at Card Makin Mama's
This week we have a lovely summery theme..er....
Summertime
So we want to see lots of summery, bright funky cards!
This week we are sponsored by the fabby Some Odd Girl and they are giving the lucky winner 3 Digi's!!!! So get creating and you could be in with a chance of winning!
Now i have been a bit naughty this week and not done a card and seeing as this is a Cardmaking Challenge...please feel free to give me a slap on the bum!
I have however made a summery frame so rather than show you nothing, i can show you this :)
This frame is made using a wooden frame from My Mums Craft Shop. I painted it with Decopatch Gesso and then used Decopatch Papers & Glue to cover the frame edges. I then coloured La La Land Marci With Flower Stamp with my copics and added Flowers & a Die Cut Swirl.

If you haven't already, head over to the CMM Blog and check out the rest of the DT's fab inspiration!

Supplies - La La Land Stamps, Decopatch Papers, Decopatch Glue, Gesso Paint, Cherry Blossom Flowers, Copics & Magnolia Swirl Die

I have some news of my own, i have now been asked to be on the Card Makin Mamas Challenge Design Team...wooohooo so excited!!!

A new challenge has just been put up on the CMM Blog and this fortnight our theme is

For A Loved One

This fortnight we are sponsored by the fabby Meljens Designs, they have so many gorgeous images available and we were lucky enough to get to play with some, here is my card...

I thought i would go for something a bit different so i chose Toadstool Buggies image to work with. It's such a lovely image and great to colour. There is lots of glitter on it too to make it sparkle. I did use a sketch at Sketch Saturday for this one but am a bit late posting this so missed the boat on that one, lol.
