I have been doing so many Christmas cards I thought I had better hurry and do some summer ones, since I missed that season completely haha! I was making this one to go with the last theme of "outdoors" at the Saturated Canary challenge, but missed it. Oh well, I can still show ya'll.
Card Ingredients:
Inks: Distress Inks
Paper: Echo Park Hello Summer
Tools: MS Frond Punch, Cheery Lynn Butterfly, MS Flower Bed Punch, Cricut
Embellishments: Seam Binding and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
I used the Cricut to cut clouds from the Winnie the Pooh cartridge, then glued felt to that and cut around. I drew grass with my DI markers and distressed all my edges, except the butterfly which has white paint.
Thank you for taking the time to come and see Ava! I hope you like her as much as I do!
Have a wonderful day!
