I'm so late with this one!

 Hi Blogland,

This is going to be super short - just to get the card up - as this is my post about it being new challenge that started over at Sweet Stampin' Challenge but it started Saturday just gone (15th)!

I will probably go into the weekend woes at some point that meant I had next to no time to craft, but not now.

So this fortnight's challenge theme is 'Summer Fun!' - anything you associate with happening in the Summer.  This is a 'for fun' challenge so no prizes and the rules are really simple: you have to stamp, you have to follow the theme and no backlinking but it really doesn't have to be a card you enter. Just stamp!

Having said that - here's my card!

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

Polkadoodles - Vacation Winnie Special Moments

coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:

Tonic Studios: Say it with Sentiments

Dies:

un-branded stitched rectangles

Creative Craft Products - Stitched Nestables

Anything else:

Distress Inks

blending brushes

Scrap of designer paper from BoBunny 'Surprise' collection

homemade cloud stencil

white pen

And that's about it folks!

Again absolute grovelling apologies to my Teamies and 'The Bosses' at Sweet Stampin' for being so super late with this card and post.

See you soon,

Sarah

Challenge/s:

Retro Rubber: Challenge #278 - Off to the tropics.  I've asked for the entry to be removed - I hadn't realised it was tropical flowers not colours, apologies

Try it on Tuesday: Inspired by a Song - In the Summertime (by Mungo Jerry).  It's one of my favourite Summer songs, tho I doubt it would be approved by my daughter today!

As You Like It: Favourite colouring medium (and why?) Can you guess, no go on really - I hardly ever mention what I like to colour with the most!! :-) Did you guess? It's Copic markers - they are just such fun and you get a great look from them and I love them and I will use them for ever! Seriously though, once you've got the hang of them they are wonderful marker pens, they blend so well, so many colours and just a wonderful finish.  I was swayed by Polychromos pencils for a while (and I do still have my box of them) but I still went back to Copics.

Cardz 4 Galz: #282 Blue Skies - Is the stencilled panel enough blue sky?  No problems if it doesn't 100% fit your theme.
