It's been a lovely weekend here and the sun has been out to play. It's a school holiday this week and we're looking forward to being able to see our eldest grandson who we haven't seen for nine months. Hopefully the sun is a good sign that summer has arrived but I hope I haven't spoken too soon.
While we wait to find out....
.... there is a new challenge at

who are offering a $10 gift voucher for the lucky winner.
I've made two 5"x 7" (13 x 18 cm) cards.
I started by making the background with Distress Oxides and water on watercolour card. I used Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet.
I then cut mats from a dark purple card. As the watercolour card wasn't quite tall enough for the card bases, I trimmed the central mats to be shorter and placed the off cuts with a gap to extend the background.
I used my Copics to colour two images of the fabulous Scribbled Floral digi 1. I couldn't decide which colourway I preferred which is why I made two cards. The image is also available in a pre-coloured set.
I finished the cards with a stamped sentiment and decided the cards didn't need any embellishments.
Now please visit the Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog where you can see the wonderful projects and cards created by our talented team using Fred She Said images.
Grab some inspiration while you're there and enter your "Anything Goes" creations in the June challenge.
Keep staying safe everyone!
