Hello everyone and happy June!! A new month means the start of a new challenge at the Four Season challenge blog and it's time to switch seasons! We are now celebrating Summer for the next 3 challenges! That means Anything Summer goes but of course there is a fabulous mood board to inspire you which is totally optional.
As usual the mood board helped inspire my card and as you can see below I used
the top left image for inspiration. I used a mix of brands here, the bicycle
was part of a Hero Arts stamp kit from a few years ago, the sand/shells are
from an old Stampin Up set and the Palm tree die is another oldie by Provo
Craft and came with a matching embossing folder. The birds were part of
another set by Hero Arts also a few years old.
Here is the mood board in case you need a little inspiration for your next creation.

I struggled a bit lining up the palm tree exactly with the embossing
folder and inking it up was a bit tricky too. I almost left it white but I
managed somehow on my 3rd try LOL. Does anyone else get stressed out when making cards or am I the only one?? I also wanted to use a white fence which is
part of the mood board image but the die was nowhere to be found!
We'd love to see you joining us with your Summer themed creations wether you
use the mood board or not! The challenge ends on June 25th so there is plenty
of time.

So glad you persevered Ellie as this is a fabulous card - and yes, I also find cardmaking can be stressful - not always, but enough to keep me on my toes :)
