Where'd the sun go?

Good morning blogland,

Late again, and for two posts this time! I think I can't have set the 'publish on' button right - I really must check my work more thoroughly and not do things in a rush next time!

This means this post and the last are posts without waffles - even though I've been on a holiday since last we spoke. Nothing fancy - just a weeks jaunt to County Durham and Yorkshire but I did have pictures to share. That will have to wait.

Back to what should have been happening in this post.

Hello everyone!

This is my second post for today and this time it's for the new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge. We have a very easy theme for the busy month of August and that is 'Anything Goes', a lovely prize from Hetty Clare of two digital images and wonderful inspiration from my Teamies. 

So summer is a season of festivals is it - if so where'd the summer go?! We took TTT to only her second ever concert at the end of June, a George Ezra concert - it was a lovely friendly, family event but my goodness it was cold and it rained! Set the tone for the rest of the summer I think! 

Anyway that random piece of information helps with the card I've made - I thought of all those best of friends (young and old) heading off to festivals and outside concerts thinking they're going to have a wonderful time in wonderful weather and then - bam! - it rains and is terrible British weather!

My card:


Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
Hetty Clare - Festival Girls
coloured using Copics / scene created using stencils and inks

Rubber stamp:
Neat and Tangled - Together

Dies:
unb-branded stitched rectangle set
Neat and Tangled - Together die set

Anything else:
Polkadoodles - Creative stencils: Grass Lawn and Great Outdoors
Distress Ink
blending brushes

I do hope you have a chance to pop over to the challenge, my Teamies have made some wonderful inspiration and it's a fab prize on offer.

See you again soon,
Sarah

Thanks for joining in with us at As You See It Challenge. We'd love to consider your card for a placing this week but sadly, you've entered too many challenges for us to do that. We hope you join in with us again. :-)
