The Summer Girl 2

As I was a child,

I used to get books from my dear grandmother

for every Christmas and every birthday.

One of the "birthday books" was called

"The Summer Girl"

("Sommerpiken" in Norwegian),

and I thought of this book

as I used Beccy's "The Rose Hat" image

for my last cards.

Therefor I call these cards "The Summer Girl".

Here comes number 2.

I used:

White double card,

Sigel's patterned paper with the sky and the clouds for the mat.

A leftover from a patterned paper from "More Time To Craft".

Scrap papers, different colours.

Image from Beccy: "The rose hat", 

coloured with water colour pencils and a water brush.

Dies:

Fence: Marianne Design,

Grass: Nellie Snellen.

Punches:

Cat: Atelier Terziev,

Flowers: EK Success.

Green pen for the doodling,

"Gold" glitter glue.

Tool: Cuttlebug.

A Surprise Card On A Quite Normal Day

I think I got hit by the "corona blues".
I did not craft at all for more than a week!
No inspiration! No interest!

But today I had to make a quick card for one of our grandchildren.

I tried to find one among my old cards,

so that it should not be necessary for me to craft!

But there was no one for this little boy.

So I had to!

It is not his birthday,

we only wanted to send him a little surprise.

So good to have pre coloured images that I can print out quickly!
So her it is, our little surprise for a little boy.

And it was not that bad to sit down with my craft stuff again ....

Cream cardstock,

Blue paper,

Scrap papers, different colours.

Image: Beccy.

Embossing folder: Swiss Dots (Cuttlebug),
