Days of summer...

Good morning.  Another lovely sunny day today, following a good rain yesterday.  Taking the car in for an oil change later, then I'll go for a long slow walk at the mall and a Starbucks.  Not very exciting but at least I can still get out and about.


Today's card is for my granddaughter who turned 13 yesterday.  She's now a teenager which is definitely awesome.  The image is coloured with a combination of Copics and Spectrum Noir markers, and the die cuts have been coloured to match.  The butterfly border is actually washi tape, and this time I have added some buttons for embellishment.  The image is from Lacy Sunshine, titled Rory Playing Hookey, and works great with the sentiment.

Hope you enjoyed your visit, and have a lovely day!
