Dutchdare Card Challenge #70

This week's challenge is
Summer in Winter

I think this Penny Black stamp is soi summery and that mouse seems to be having so much fun. i watercoloured the image and then used broken china and worn lipstick ink to distress the background. I haven't used these BG papers for ages, but they go so well with the colours in the image. Another simple layout for me ... just some lacey ribbon and some punched flowers and leaves.

This week's Quixotic Paperie challegne is Flutterby ... I have a butterfly.
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Penny Black Lily Waterskiing; Penny Black sentiment
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Two Scoops
Embellishments: from stash
