Calendar Girls ~ You are my Sunshine

It is the 28^th, so I am here to welcome you to another round with the Calendar Girls! 

Who are the Calendar Girls? We are a group of bloggers who want to have a place where friendships blossom, creativity abounds, and encouragement prevails! In keeping with that dream, this blog group has been created so we will have a place to interact and enjoy being fellow bloggers. 

Michele, our substitute Ms. June as she switched months with Carol who has just move, gave us with this challenge: 
June Challenge...

For most of us, June is the month that starts summer...many events are happening...school ending, graduation, weddings, flowers blooming and family vacations.

My challenge is...using this sketch

with any color combination create a card that best suits your beginning to summer, or summer plans. It could be a trip you are planning, a flower that is blooming, a wedding you are attending, or a graduation gathering. Whatever it could be...have fun creating a card to go with it.

This was a great sketch and I was sure I wanted to use a Gina K Designs stamp set that I have not used for a couple of years.  However, the size of the image was not just right, so I turned the sketch on its side and I think it worked.  I also added some texture to the card by adding “sand”—it is a product like Flower Soft that comes in different colors and textures.

Thanks for a great challenge Michelle—I Loved it!
