Hi everyone – welcome back to dual challenges today at Cardz 4 Guyz and Sparkle, both of the theme for July is – SUMMER! For some reason, when I think of summer, it reminds me of good old rainbow that appears after a summer rain. I finally gave in and purchased the Boho Vibes / Sunshine Vibes bundle which is perfect for the challenges. I used the Rainbow one to create a negative image to layer a piece of coordianating DSP underneth. Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy card and please join us at the challenge – what is Summer means to you with your card!
