Isabella's sketch book challenge time and its memorial day, or celebrate the start of summer, in your country's colours. OK, memorial day is not something we celebrate here but as the challenge states, its how you would celebrate Memorial day or the start of summer . Its a patriotic theme, memorial cards of any type but with your country's colors. Now, our flag is red white & blue , but we don't really identify with these colours here in NZ. Our sports teams all wear black and / or white. I almost went all white but then decided to add some flag colours too! And the start of summer...traditionally spent at the beach! The image is a cutey from Isabellas Sketchbook. That was me in my childhood, I grew up living at the beach, in a beautiful spot in Hawkes Bay, called Mahia Beach .
I've coloured with copics, flowers and buttons are random and cardstock & ribbon is SU . Pop on over to the challenge blog to see what my wonderful talented teamies have done, and why not join in the challenge. Isabella gives the challenge winner two free digis from her shop and her images are beautiful!
I'm entering this in the Cute Daisy May challenge- as you like it.
