Summer Traditions

Hi everyone!! I'm still on vacation but I'm having major withdrawals from blogging and making cards! We have had such a wonderful time in Michigan. Still planning to go to Greenfield Village and tonight we are going to see my best friend's son play soccer. Although we are having fun I'm ready to get home and back to our regular routine.

I made this card before we left but I'm posting now. It was my entry to Magnolia Ink contest. I haven't heard anything about it so I thought I would go ahead and post it. Such a summery card. Our family tradition in the summer was to go "up north" and spend most of the summer by the lake. I really loved going and catching frogs, going water skiing, and for long walks in the woods. I miss the good ole days.
The dock, grass and flowers are masked together and Tilda is attached with pop dots. I went pretty slim on the embellishments but I like the way it turned out. Sorry I didn't post the copics used.

Hope your having a wonderful week!

Such a beautiful card Lisa! Love that summary ambiance you created around Tilda. One can almost ear the "songs" of a summer day...
