Instead, I've gone back to my childhood. Sunny days then might (if we were lucky) mean a jaunt down the coast to Largs, a walk along the front and maybe even an ice cream!
The paper is from Dovecraft's London collection. They had packs of it very reasonably priced when I was at Alexandra Palace the other week, and even if I never use the Union Flag festooned sheets, there are some gorgeous florals like this one, so I'll definitely get my money's worth. And you never know, I might even use the other sheets. (I'm perfectly patriotic, but it seems an odd theme for a greetings card.) The flowers and butterflies are from my stash, and I've added sticky gems to the flower centres.
I hope you can join us this week!

Loved reading about your summer card, Josephine, and it looks good. I'm not too fond of the heat either but I do like to see the sun out of the window occasionally. Hazel x
Love the story behind the card Josephine, yep, a walk and an ice cream at the end sounds just about right. Such simple pleasures - so many lasting memories. Great card and your London collection paper turned up trumps . Hugs Jane xx

Great way of using that image Josephine. I've not been to Scotland yet but hoping to go on a road trip there in the next year. The scenery looks amazing with dramatic coastline. Love your spot of nostalgia with happy memories :)
