Summer Lovin' Challenge

I LOVE pink lemonade!!  I just had to get that out there :)

Welcome to the April Pre-Release Challenge at Flourishes!  This month's theme is a fun one:  With spring here and warmer weather on the way, let's get ready for a heat wave on our cards and creations! Simply make a card with nice weather or summer in mind and you'll be in the running to win our April Release! FLLCAPR13.   

When I think of summer, one of the things I would love most would be to have a wrap around porch on my house with a lovely wicker chair to sit in and read or to have a little pink lemonade with my friends :)

So here's my summer scene on my dream-wrap-around-porch.  I've paired Flourishes On the Porch set with a sentiment from Flourishes Inside and Out Congrats.  Stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on Flourishes Classic White, then cut out with Spellbinders - Decorative Labels Twenty-Two die.  I like the fact that you can thread ribbon like this light teal velvet through the side part of the die.  The papers are Flourishes Color Made Easy Emerald Coast Cardstock and MME - Remarkable.  

As you can see, I did a little paper piecing with colouring on the pillow and throw.  I love how cozy it looks.  Tiny touches of accents with some Candi and two little tabs of wrinkled brown ribbon.  I really love how this turned out.   It definitely says lazy summer days to me.

So how about you join us in the Challenge?!  It's a great way to get a little summer in your day, and you could win the April Stamp Releases from Flourishes!  Sneak Peeks start next week.  Just head on over to the Flourishes Blog to see all the contest rules today!
