Today's two challenges were perfect to combine. Angie challenged us to go outside and enjoy the nice weather. It's beautiful today after drenching rains yesterday. My yard has never been so green in August. I love to go outside after dinner when the sun is beginning to set and the sky is turning pink. It's my favorite time to enjoy my flowers and weed. We've been picking flowers from our yard regularly so we will always have at least one vase of flowers in the house. Polly challenged us to use wings on our cards, so I added Stickles to the wings of my butterfly and buzzing bees. To make it mixed media, I masked the girl and the frame of this digi and sponged on Distress Oxides. Then I added some swirly clouds and early evening stars with some pearly white texture paste and Nuvo glitter paste. I printed an extra image so I could pop up the girl and the bees. Of course, it needed lots more glitter, so I added Stickles to all the flowers. I sure had fun making this happy summer card this morning!

Oh, I just love those clouds! Soft and so pretty. I wanted to use my PB cat dressed as a bee for wings, but that would have taken more time than I had available to me. So I'm happy to see bees winging it. I can see this as a modern illustration for Alice in Wonderland. Lovely happy, fun card.
Aww! This is beautiful for both challenges! I love your clouds! Fabulous coloring on the girl's hair. A gorgeous card. Oh, your summer evenings sound lovely! Enjoy your beautiful weather!
