Flourishes is having a Summer Lovin' Challenge. If you'd like to play along, make a card inspired by the photo above or inspired simply by SUMMER. You have until Friday, April 12 at 5 pm EST to enter your card, and please make a card only for this challenge. You'll have an opportunity to win the entire Flourishes April Release! If you use Flourishes stamps, your card counts as two entries -- this is what I have done (stamp set is Flourishes Sweet Days of Summer) and here's my card that is inspired by summer.......
Does this stamp ever make me think of summers of my childhood! I don't remember a sprinkler but we definitely had a water hose and that provided hours of fun during hot Mississippi summers! Thank goodness I had a sister -- we'd take turns squirting each other!! And how much fun was it to hold that hose straight up and have the water fall back down on you. (we also had lots of fun playing out in the rain too when it was hot outside!)
Since my card has a red color scheme going on, I thought I'd share a picture of a little red visitor to our yard. This is a Vermilion Flycatcher and is the most beautiful red and black -- it's hard to miss them when they are perched outside on the fence or utility line because their color is so brilliant!
Adios for now,
Betty

Your card really takes me back to summer fun. Hard to think summer here when everything is covered in ice.
Isn't your little bird pretty?

Love this bold pop of color -- fun layout too!!! Thanks for joining us gals over at Flourishes!
I love how you tied a summer memory in with your card, and it looks amazing! I love the bold red paper, the button and ribbon embellishment!
I remember summers using the garden hose too! I remember when we got the sprinkler and how that drastically cut down on the "it's your turn to spray me" fights - LOL :)
Love the color of that bird, it's gorgeous and so is your card!
Oh to be young, and playing in a sprinkler! This is so cute, Betty. Can you give the beautiful birdie my address?
Perfect card for this challenge...I remember how much fun it was to play in the sprinkler. Good luck.
