My Challenge card & 1 of Sophie's A level pieces

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope today finds you all well and that the weather is being kind to you, although I do feel that we could all do with a few drops of rain.  The poor farmers are really struggling and we can see the difference just with our allotment, usually in July our plot develops huge cracks, mainly because the soil is mostly heavy clay, that really holds the water, as it dries out we start to see big cracks around the plot, not usually until end of June//July time, the cracks were so big last year we had a wasps best in one of them!

Onto today's card now, it is a 'DL' card as per the challenge, I did some 'Random' stamping using all of the Stampin Up! new Colours, Tranquil Tide, Fresh Fig, Berry Burst, Powder Pink and Lemon Lime Twist, they all work beautifully together, I actually really enjoy making my own backing papers, like this one that started out as a piece of plain A4 card.  The Stamp Set I used is called Blooms & Wishes, such a fun easy set to work with. I finished it with a die cut 'Thank You' also from Stampin Up.

The Second piece of work today us a Portrait if a Girl Called 'Holly', Sophie drew this whole portrait signs Black Biro, just look at the tiny detail she has included.  We are very proud parents, I have two more Cards to share later in the week.

Have a lovely day ladies
Love and Hugs
Sandra
