Summer Blooms


The Penny Black and More  challenge this month is "Summer Blooms" and  this is my DT card. I wanted to make something bright and summery for this challenge. Not a difficult card to make but full of cuteness and colourful. I did basic colouring on my Penny Black  image with Promarkers as I wanted to keep it clean and fresh looking. The acetate flowers and  Flonz Craft  Butterfly image added to my summer scene. I finished it off by adding some candy to my border die.
I have entered my card into a few challenges listed below.

  38. hi shirley, i love how you've coloured this cute image and the added butterflies; i chose those as well but they wouldn't fit on my card so now i know it has to be a larger sized card.
