Sweet Strawberries

PTI have just released a new strawberry set which reminded me that I've never actually inked up the strawberries in the Friendship Jar Summer Fillers. Here is a card which features those strawberries - perfect for recalling summer!

I pulled out my copic markers to do some colouring.

She sells sea shells?

Well I always had trouble with that rhyme, but I love PTI's Friendship Jar Summer Fillers. Cute pint jar which can be filled with so many images,  including these shells. Webster's Pages Yacht Club paper - how appropriate.

Sumer Is Icumen In

Lhude sing cuccu!

Well that's the idea anyway. A slow start to summer here, but time to chase it along with a card which screams 'summer' to any Kiwi - sand, shells, a day at the beach followed by a barbie. What more could anyone ask for?

Of course, by the time summer proper arrives, I'll be off to cooler climes - 6 1/2 weeks in the UK and Europe - fab.u.lous. Not the greatest time of year to be wandering round outdoors admiring the scenery, but I plan to spend lots of time indoors sampling seasonal fare with friends and family. Can't wait!

Bloomers

Love the hydrangea image from PTI's summer jar fillers.  In fact, that was one of the main reasons I ordered the set (the other was to get the pint jar image).  I coloured the flowers with my copics (PTI royal velvet trio).  For once, I also filled in the jar using B000. After I'd stamped the image and started to colour,  I realised I'd used Versafine ink rather than Tsukineko Tuxedo Black which works better with copics. Got a bit of smudging, but not as much as  I expected.

As the hydrangeas don't have stems, I masked off and used the stems from the daisy in the Jar Fillers set. The tulip stems from the Spring Fillers set would work well too.
