Lazy Days of Summer

Hi guys,

I wish!! it's more like winter hey! lol

we have a lovely challenge for you today at 

Addicted to stamps challenge

it's called Summertime,

May be it will put the weather in a better mood and we may see some sun lol,

Now I enjoyed doing my swing type card so much the other day I couldn't resist doing it for this time too, I have of course used a gorgeous Teddy Bea image from Teddy Bo which I have coloured with distress inks then cut out,

I made my easel style card again and cut out the middle for Teddy Bea to be able to swing,

I thought she'd look cute in a trellis effect frame so I used a Martha Stewart punch, 

I was given some lovely ribbon which looks like leaves so I trailed this around the frame and added roses from WOC for the flowers,

This is a closer look of Teddy Bea, isn't she gorgeous, I love teddies,

the rest of my card has again flowers from WOC but this time I've used larger flowers and a charm,

I kept the look as soft as I could to compliment the detailed background, or at least I hope I have lol,

the tag has been left plain to fill in with an apt sentiment etc,

our wonderful challenge over at 

Addicted to stamps

is Bingo

choose any line for your project, you've done this before I'm sure lol,

for my card I've chosen cute image ,pearls, ribbon

I have used a  Grand Nestie scalloped die again as my main shape, the papers and wedding certificate came from a paper pad I've had for years

the image is of course LOTV and I've coloured in copics,

I stamped the grooms hat twice, coloured them in the cut one out and layered it on top of the other for a bit of interest,

her veil is done with a gliter pen but it doesn't show on here grrr,

The roses are from hobby craft, stash and WOC, and do you see my hint of cheesecloth there too? lol

The certificate has hints of glimmer on too but of course as per usual you can't see it lol,

The background I coloured with Copics and also for her shadow then edged the card with Distress inks, the edges are also  machine sewn and some are disressed using my distress tool,
