I'm on a roll this week - I don't think I've entered so many challenges in one week before. I've got a burst of energy from somewhere and not only have I made more cards than usual I have also spring cleaned the house. Oh, and it's sunny today, yay!
Today I've made a tag with a summer theme and I'm entering this in the following challenges:-
Stampavie and More "Summer"
Charisma Cardz "Tag It"
Cute Card Thursday "Eye Eye" (there is an eyelet, it's just partially hidden under the ribbon)
I've made a "very simple" background for Edwin using distress inks and a white watercolour pencil. I've also coloured some white ribbon with distress inks to match.
Here's what I used to make this card:-
Stamp: Edwin with surfboard (not sure of real name of stamp!) from Magnolia Summer Club kit.
CS: 240gm watercolour paper
Colouring medium: Distress inks "Scattered Straw", "Weathered Wood", "Frayed Burlap" and "Broken China", White Derwent Aquatone water colour pencil
Tools: Spellbinders nestabilities "Labels 4", Cropadile; Pinflair gel glue
Accessories: Papermania eyelet, Anita's Ribbon, Summer sun freebie from magazine.
Oops, have you spotted the inadversent advertising in the background with my freebie craft mat!
Thanks for dropping by today. Enjoy the rest of your week - not long until the weekend!

How cute! I love this image. I haven't had a chance to play with him yet. Glad to hear the weather is nice there. It has been so HOT here. Hopefully today it won't be to hot. I'm off to take the kids to swimming lessons.
