If you've joined me from Debbie's blog, welcome to the next stop on this month's Banana Frog blog hop!
As you know this month's theme is all things summer!
And what better excuse than to dig into some new summer stash and play with some of the stamps in the new Sentimental Style set from Banana Frog:
This set will definitely be an indispensable addition to any cardmaker's stash - whatever their creative style! You can go very stylish, clean and vintage, or bright, funky and very mod.
Here's my little homage to our currently unseasonal British summer weather! Very much a cause for celebration! :o)
Papers and stickers: Echo Park
Stamps: Banana Frog - Sentimental Style
Pearls: Prima
Other: 3D foam
I love the bright colours in this collection of papers, and it just shows how Sentimental Style lends itself to all types of colour schemes and patterns. For extra zing and pop I stamped onto kraft in white and red ink, and the greeting stands out even more than had I stamped in black on white. If you're going to use bright colours, you might as well go the whole hog right? :o)
And finally, the winner of the Tropical Taste stamps from my Lilypad lesson at the weekend is Julie:
Beautiful cards - I love the shapes - theyre fab and gorgeous stamps. xxxx

Lovely card - such cheerful and summery colours. I like the little windmills too.
That stamp set is really lovely - it would be such a useful thing to have handy for card making and even scrapping. I like the banner you made with these, to put on the front of your card.
