Summer means a lot of things to me: pastels, flowers, beautiful birds, convertibles and beaches. I chose to use pastel flowers for the "Summer Lovin" challenge.
For the MIX "Part of the Package" challenge. I added netting that was on our New Year's Day ham. Had been wondering how I would ever find a use for it! I adhered the net with glossy accents and used some on the flower center as well. The flower image is from Pinterest. Matted that on dark red. For the next mat, I used the alcholol ink agate technique that I found on YouTube. Had to do this twice - the 1st one was too dark and didn't go well with the back ground in my focal piece. I'll save the dark one for something later.

I really like the alcohol ink bg and the flower is gorgeous. Good use for the ham netting. I guess we should never throw anything away.
