Wish you were here... as long as it's sunny!

Those of you visiting this blog post from the DCM blog are probably wondering what on earth my card for Lynda's "Wish you were here" dare has to do with holidays...

Well, it's like this - I'm currently on my "holidays" which are actually a Staycation this year. In fact the only concrete plans I had for my Staycation were to spend any sunny times lolling about in the garden on my lovely beanbag, scoffing strawberries from a handy bowl nearby as I steadily munched my way through my current reading list.

However, this biiig plan has been very dependent on the weather and there has been no sunshine so far, well until yesterday.

So the Staycation card naturally features strawberries twinned with some nice summer colours! Had I been venturing somewhere further a field this year I might have been tempted to do a more exotic spin on the dare... ;o) But as I'm having a lazy summer holiday, I've made a lazy summer kinda card!

 

Papers: October Afternoon
Stickers: October Afternoon
Dies: Papertrey Ink
Stamps: Papertrey Ink
Pearls: Kaiserkraft
Other: Copics, 3D foam

 

Mind you, it does make me yearn for a nice garden party complete with bunting and lawn croquet to go with those strawberries and cream.

Happy creating!
