Summer flowers flutter by

 I can’t believe we’re in August, and I’m exhausted with this heat,

my garden is exhausted, and so too I think, is all of nature.

However, there’s lots of suffering around the world, so I’m very lucky really.

  Allsorts inspired me with their summer colours challenge, to break out a new to me 

Spellbinders set, Wild Cone Flowers, with which I die cut lots of snippets in yellow, orange and green.

I’m taking artistic license with the colours 😃

I also used a new to me set from Uniko, English Country Garden Butterfly, 

which I coloured and fussy cut.

I didn’t realise the phrase was wonky, until I looked at the photo 🙄

I used SU coverplate Stitched Greenery for the Lemon Lolly background,

and made a frame with their Arched dies in Calypso Coral.

I’m not totally happy with the overall look, but I’ve got lots of die cuts left to play with,

maybe when it’s cooler, as I find it hard to concentrate in these high temperatures.
