Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Summer's Winding Down. Participants were to make a card with a Summer Activity Theme!
So...I decided that the Swinging girl was the best idea! I LOVE this image and I combined it with the New Gerbera Daisies images from Flourishes! I remember swinging in my grandmother's yard on her farm during the summers eons ago. She had a big maple tree with a wooden swing that hung right over her flower garden. I remember the thrill of soaring over the blooms and giggling like the young child I really was.
The bottom panel was stamped 3 times with the Gerbera Daisies images and colored in with Copics. I stamped the image again, colored it, and punched it out to create a spotlight. The girl and tree were stamped on the circle and sponged in. The butterfly is from the Gerbera Daisies set, as is the sentiment.

Great spotlighting technic Faith and I love the colours too. Love the image - I have a swinging girl stamp too (from A Muse) and I love it. So fun and fabulous. Beautiful ribbon too.

Wow - love how you have interpreted this challenge. The spotlight really caught my eye - as it was supposed to :-) Love the way you have used the ribbon, popping it up through the image panel. TFS :-)

I love this card Faith. Can I go swing in your grandma's yard too? I remember swinging in the shade years ago too. Speedy the cat did a great job on this.

WOW, Faith....Another show stopper..... Love your watercolouring and how you made the main image into a tag by threading the ribbon through it. What a great idea. Love all those beautiful daisies. So pretty.......

What a great card - what a horrible theme. Summer never really got here! Love your coloring and spotlight with the two dies. You rocked it, Ms. Faith, you rocked it!
