Bearlymine Designs Thirteenth Challenges - "Summertime"

If only I wish it was "Summertime" so far this year weve only had a few days of decent weather as its been cold, wet and windy but Im hoping that this fortnights Challenge will start to warm things up but dont blame me if it doesnt. Anyway this theme has been picked by my fellow Bearlymine Designs team member Marie and she has chosen this and we are being sponsered by the following companies.


And what fabulous prizes they are to and Im sure you will definitely want to have a chance of winning them, just wish we could to. Anyway heres my card for this Challenge.
And if this image doesnt warm you up Im not sure what will, Ive used this House Mouse summer image for my card and coloured it with my copic and tria pens, then used the Nestabilitie Die No.17 to cut it out then drawn around the die onto some yellow card to create the mount, the sentiment is one from the same set of unmounted stamps and I have treated it in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of yellow card and one of two papers from Donna's Bearlymine "Paper Lace" design digi set, the first a very pretty white and yellow lace edged one, then on top is yet another yellow paper from the set but it has been cut into a 5" square and around all the edges I have used a beach border and corner set from Martha Stewart, this was laid at a jaunty angle on top of the first mount. Then I have wrapped a bright ribbon down the middle and attached to the back of the first mount.
I then positioned my mounted image in the middle with my sentiment at the bottom on the right hand side, to finish of I have used a prima net flower with two aster's either side and punched out leaves in the top left hand corner.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope you will pop over to the Bearlymine Designs Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the team have created for you and I do hope it will inspire you to take part in this fortnights Challenge.

    Tee hee Shirley .. .. I love that sentiment alongside your cute little image.

    I can almost feel the heat coming from your card.

    I wonder if we will have any hot summer days when all we can do is lounge about like this?

    Love Jules xx

    A beautiful design and the House mice are so cute. I agree with your comments on the weather and as today is the longest day (I think) maybe it will be the key to change!
