Gardens with things with wings

Happy Tuesday everyone and thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you are enjoying your summer, it's been unbearably hot over here in Illinois, but thanks to central air we didn't really have to deal with it! (I mean I didn't have to deal with it, hubby had to work in it!) I know my family over in Germany is complaining about the cold weather over there, but I really wish we had some of those days here...but then again, it's going to be fall before we know it....

Now onto my card for this week, it's a super simple one as my time is pretty limited right now while my son is still recovering from his surgery.

I simply used 3 paper scraps, adhered and sewed them onto a white card front. Then added the image with pop dots and added the sentiment. I colored the image with derwent coloursoft pencils and baby oil. Sentiment is from SU. I embellished with a button and silver cord, added some stickles and sewed the papers.

My image is one of the first ones that I bought from Meljen's Designs, toadstool buggies. It is available for purchase at Whimsy Stamps, and don't forget, there are only a few more days left to take advantage of the digital stamps sale at Whimsy (25% off until the end of the month!).

We have a brand new sponsor with us this week,

Glitterbabe digis,

giving away a fabulous prize to one lucky randomly chosen winner! I hope you'll join us at digital tuesday in the challenge for a chance to win! To play along simply click the digital tuesday logo in my side bar.

I'd like to also enter my card to this week's Paper Sundae's with the theme of beachy or summer, and while it is not beach themed, I do think it is very summery. Also Summertime theme at Craft Your Days Away, so I am entering it there as well, and Summer is also the theme at Fussy and Fancy. At Phindy’s Place the challenge is doubling up, and there are 2 mushrooms, 2 bees and two ladybugs in my image, and of course I wouldn't mind winning a Phindy's Prize so I am entering it there too. And last but not least, Stamp Something wants to see something embellished.
