Making cards from paper scraps with Stampin Up Summer Afternoon stamps

Good morning everyone, today I have an adorable little card to show you using Summer Afternoon, one of the stamp sets on offer for discounted price of just £10 (clear mount) / £13 (wood mount) when spending over £150 with any Stampin Up order ....



Isn't that little pup just the cutest? I've teamed him with some so safffron cardstock to give a spring theme and the papers are all from Birds of a Feather which have featured heavily in my spring/easter craftings this year ;) I just love the pastel hues of these papers and think they're perfect for this time of year. 

I've sponged the doilies and edged the oval collection framelit with so saffron ink  for a softer effect and have  hand rolled my flowers in melon mambo, bashful blue and so saffron to echo the flowers in the cart. My colouring is with many marvellous markers & blender pens and the springtime sentiment is from a retired set Easter Blossoms. 

Here's a close up of the flowers ...



They are so easy to make and are the perfect accompaniment to crafting :)
