And the Garden Party continues ...

... but only indoors and solely on the crafting front. The month of June was so cold and wet that it ended up being a complete write-off. And July does not seem to be much better - another severe weather warning for rain is already in place. It does not feel like summer at all.

On a more positive note, the bad weather means that I spend more time indoors and crafting. So it is not all bad. And the new Garden Party products by Dovecraft are so nice to work with that they really cheer me up despite the weather being so awful.

And here is an A5 card that I finished last night:

A product list and step-by-step instructions are in my Trimcraft gallery, but here is a bit more information for those who would like to know a bit more about the products I used.

• I found the lace on Joanna Sheen's website.
• The leaves are coloured in using a Tim Holtz distress ink pad in 'frayed burlap'. I applied the ink with Cut-n-Dry foam.
• The swirl die is by Marianne Designs.
• I had the sentiment tag in my stash.
• My chosen adhesive was again Pinflair glue gel.
