Perfect Summer Day

These cards are along the lines of yesterday's, but I've used decoupaged images and sentiments in place of the flowers and gem swirls. Some tiny stickers in the corners look like nail heads in a picture frame.
 
"Perfect Summer Day"

I added some colour to the stamped images using distress markers to match the background. Oh for a perfect Summer day when I can sit in the garden on a recliner, sip a glass of Cava and listen to the birds singing :-)

"To a Wonderful Friend"

That blue tit is a sticker. I just couldn't resist adding him to this card - I love birds! I'm not so sure about the sentiment, but as you know I don't use pink much so found it hard to find something to match! To me, the red is a bit overpowering on that sentiment diecut but c'est la vie.
