Creative Inspirations Challenge # 65 - Summertime

Hi everyone hope you are all having a lovely weekend so far the weather has been lovely in my part of the world so have been working in the garden, walking the dog, meeting friends for lunch - you know the usual weekend things and its been lovely seeing a bit of sunshine too!
Well its challenge time again over at Creative Inspirations and this time the challenge is summertime. This week we are sponsored by little claires designs and they have donated a wonderful stamp for the winner.  So what are you waiting for...... can't wait to see all your lovely entries.

Here is my DT card for inspiration and you will notice I've learnt a new trick in Photoshop of how to feather the edges (well I got it from a tutorial here by the lovely Tamara  thanks Tamara!)  I just love the softened look using this new (well new for me anyway) technique!

and a close up of the sentiment

and a close up for the texture (love seam binding don't you!)

These gorgeous papers are from Pink Petticoat and were a freebie with a magazine I love PP anyway and these pre-printed sheets are toally gorgeous!

Right I'm off to carry on my trip around blogland... until next time...

Happy Crafting..
