Week 2, Summer

As it is summer here in Australia, these week’s theme is Summer, so this week start thinking summer fruits, ice creams, summer colours, maybe something beachy? It’s all up to you and how you wish to interpret; Summer.

   Here is mum’s ATC. Mum decided that she wanted to focus on the lovely warm colours, ice-cream sundae’s and a lovely summer rose.

'Tis the last rose of summer

Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
To give sigh for sigh.

The sundae’s were stamped with stazon, and coloured in with Glaze pens and the silver was American Crafts. I just love the little fly stamp, he’s from one of the Basic Grey lines.

This is my Summer ATC. I said I was going to go bulky for this project, and this would have to be the flattest ATC I’ve made in a while LOL I do like it though. I stamped the paddle pops on Bazzill and a PP and cut them. To make piecing them back together easier on myself I stamped the image on the ATC so I knew where to stamp the other images. Once they were all stamped I put the paddle pops back together. Distressed the edges with Fired Brick and I added one of those stamped BG flies, as he is just so cute!
