Good morning, my lovelies and a Happy Thursday to you all! The sun is shining again today and I have a day of craftiness with my Mum to look forward to and maybe even lunch in the garden! Speaking of which, all this wonderful weather has meant that I have been having a fantastic crop of berries this year...
...This is almost a daily occurrance at the minute...
...My cauliflowers are starting to bloom, so it's all about timing now - allowing them to grow big enough without turning to flower! And we have a very special garden gift in the shape of these little sweeties...
...If you look closely, you can just see the 2 little beaks poking out of the nest! We have had a pair of blackbirds around for many years now, but this year, they decided to nest just inside our hedge about 2 foot from the path! We have been very careful so as not to disturb them, but I managed to get this snap as Mrs blackbird had just left to collect some more food!
So anyway, I do have a card to share with you today! After making the
scene card for this week's challenge at
Passion for Promarkers and enjoying it so much, I decided to make another one! So this time, Rosie has gone to the countryside...
...I used the Rosie with flower image for this one, colouring her with Pro/Flexmarkers and paper piecing her dress with a paper from First Editions Boho Chic pad. I then fussy cut her out, removing the flower that is usually in her hand...
...I created the scene by inking with Stormy Sky DI over a cloud stencil and hand cut the hill shapes, then inked the edges with Peeled Paint DI. I decided to give Rosie a kite to hold and made this using the same Boho Chic paper, adding some string and little bunting bows cut from card scraps. I cut a few sprigs of grass and added some XCut punched flowers with diamante centres...
...I finished the inside with a sentiment panel inked with the clouds and a simple sentiment. I really enjoy creating these little scenes and you may be seeing a couple more yet as I have ideas for another couple of images, so we'll see where else Rosie gets too!
Have a wonderful day and I hope the sun is shining wherever you are! Thanks for dropping by to see me, it really does mean a lot and I'll be back soon with some more crafty creations!

Love these scene cards you're making Lisa, the clouds are brilliant and the backgrounds are so effective! They almost look printed and they're stunning. The kite is superb and I loved your seaside card too!
