We returned home late last night from a few days in our caravan in North Devon. Looking at the forecast for this weekend of heavy rain, thunderstorms and strong winds, we decided to cut our holiday short and come home several days early. It feels more like autumn today, I hope we've still got some summer sunshine to come this year!
The Crafty Calendar August Challenge begins with the easy theme of 'Anything Goes'. Our sponsor this month is Hetty Clare Art.
For my DT card, I used a precoloured Hetty Clare Art digi stamp 'The Hamster Flower'. The patterned paper is from a paper pad from The Works. I finished off my card with three pink sequins.
The Crafty Calendar Challenge ends on 28th August. Please head over to the blog to see all the beautiful cards the DT have made for inspiration.
I am joining in the following challenges:

Really love this image and you've made a pretty card using it. Weather pretty wet and windy in the SW this morning - probably better off in your craft room this weekend
ReplyDeleteI did some crafting in the caravan, but so much easier to craft at home with everything to hand. xx
DeleteLove this image. Love that it can be purchased precolored. I need to look at getting some precolored images.
ReplyDeleteShame to have to cut short a holiday Liz but I think you made a wise choice! What a summer we're having :(
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card today, a lovely design and that image is so sweet.

ReplyDeleteThis is a cute image Liz and your pink dp and sequins tone in beautifully with the pink flowers on the image...a super card! Sorry you had to cut your week away in the caravan short. I don't know that we have had such a bad summer for quite a few years and like you hope we do get some nicer weather soon. x
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, as least we were able to come home early, unlike some of the holidaymakers coping with the intense heat and wildfires in parts of southern Europe. x
DeleteLiz, this is absolutely adorable and I think it's one of the best pre-colored images I've seen! Love it with the bright pink border and sequins. So darn cute! I'm sorry you had to cut your vacation short. We have sure enjoyed our motorhome trips in the past, but this summer was a stay at home. Thank you for sharing your darling card with us at Double D.
ReplyDeleteThose stacked hamsters are just the cutest thing on this fun birthday card! Sorry you had to cut your holiday short, but better to be safe than sorry to get caught up in bad storms!
ReplyDeleteA fun card and so beautifully coloured! Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI can take no credit for the colouring as I used a pre-coloured image for this card. xx
DeleteCute card Liz. Love those sweet little critters xxx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely just the cutest cards and critters!! Sorry you had to cut short your trip, but tonally understand, been raining here forever and looks like to continue most of the week, my flowers love it, me not so much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute and pretty card. I love that image - so fun! The patterned paper you used is perfect on the side. Love it!

A cute image and you've used it beautifully with your layout.
ReplyDeleteI love this card Liz! It's adorable! You have colored it up perfectly, that glass vase looks all but real looking. Love the hamsters, they are way too cute! I also love the paper you chose as well. We just had bad storms roll through my area with tornado warning tonight. I could still the clouds spinning and rotating around, so I was doing some praying! Wild winds as well. So I understand cutting your little holiday short. I'm with you, not ready to let go of summer, so hope it hangs around longer too! Hugs, Brenda
