Papercraft Star

Hello!
Well it's far from hot here in the UK but the challenge this week at Papercraft Star is 
Hot Hot Hot  
This week we want you to include a Sun on your project


I haven't seen the sun for a while now ... just lots of rain but I did manage to create a cheerful summer card all the same


my sun is just peeking through the clouds


I hand cut a kite from some self adhesive fabric from Hobbycraft... Stamped a few little beach huts and coloured them with distress stains ...
The border and the clouds are cut from PTI dies and the sun and sentiment are digital images

If you want to see what my lovely team mates have come up with ... hop over to the Papercraft Star blog ... We'd be delighted to have you join us this week ... Our winner and runner up as always will receive digital sheets from our sponsor THATB

Hope you are having a lovely day wherever you are 

Stay safe

~ Ros ~

Beautiful card as always, Ros, sorry you are not warm, but glad you are not hot!I did enjoy Wimbledon, but not the outcome...maybe the Olympics will bring some sun. I am enjoying our much needed rain! Have a wonderful evening.

What a beautiful card, Ros! I love flying kites... haven't done it in too long a time... and somehow you captured the feeling of that!
