Continuing on with my "simple" stamping theme, here's a sunny card I stitched together. After I took photos of this card, I realized that I forgot to add the little sentiment banner that I made for it! Ooops! So, you'll just have to imagine that the front of this card says "Posies for You".
The wheelbarrow and flowers are from a recently released set from Storage Units, Ink & More. I stamped the posies image several times and cut them out once I had them painted. I popped them up on foam adhesive so they had a bit of height from the wheelbarrow.
As I was watering the hanging baskets of flowers on the patio this evening, I was thinking about just how HOT it's been lately. And this weekend is going to be.... you guessed it, HOT.
HOT HOT HOT.
The 10 day forecast promises 100+ degree temps for what seems like FOREVER. Quite possibly 105 on Sunday. What's UP with the heat!? Ughhhhh. It's 10:38pm as I type this, and it's 90 degrees.
That's just WRONG.
HOT.
Love this card!! Very refreshing!! Stay cool!

Remember back in the Inland Empire when you could go out after dark in August and you needed a sweater! You could sleep at night with the windows open! I haven't had the house open to fresh breezes since, gosh, I dunno, April! Sweltering right along with Texas over here in Central Florida! Angie in Maryland has no clue! LOL

What a cute card! Love your popped up flowers in the wheelbarrow! I'm rethinking my position of wanting to retire in Arizona since I hate the heat and I think it gets hotter there. YUCK!!! How are the animals doing in this heat?

This card is wonderful! However, my favorite details are the shadow and the ground. Perfectly painted.

I hate heat!!!!! Run outside and do chores, and then get back inside! An article today in our local paper suggested that we have amnesia here in Nebraska regarding the heat waves this time of year. Nope! We just can't afford to spend our summers in the Arctic!
Cute card, btw. ;)

I am sorry that u r going through all of that heat! But... if its any solace, I live in Maryland so we tend to get all the hot air from the south and its so humid here. Not sure what the temp is now but during the day its in the 90s without humidity. Anyway. Good nite, be blessed! Beautiful card! Tfs!
