Welcome to November’s Hop. This month we are celebrating our favourite month and for me, it has to be July. I am a summer girl, sun and heat and I am one happy person. In July we are surrounded with bright colors, both in nature and our clothes. We spend time outside in the garden and at the beach. And with the dreaded "S" word being mentioned in the forecasts, I need to transport myself back to July! So to recreate the feelings of July I have used some of Stampin Up’s Brights Collection and floral images along with our Mermaids and Pirates set. Mermaids belong at the beach right?
First up, Flowers. I have used the Artistically Inked stamp set and dies with Granny apple Green, Magenta Madness and Gorgeous Grape.
And then, my Mermaid card. Here I really stepped out of my box and used Poppy Parade, I have been doing alot of colouring lately, find it so relaxing and playing with colours is fun. Notice the colours, adding Smokey Slate as a base to darken your colour and then So Saffron to lighten the colours really gives you more shades of your same colour. I know, who would of thought!
Well, onto Sharon's blog and see what month is her favorite,
And here is the list of all of us hopping this month
Lovely cards Elaine! xx

Very summery! I love summer and the beach too, but in NZ July is mid-winter! I'd have to choose January or February as the best of summer weather.
