Swirls



It was San Juan here in Almerimar last nigh which we go to every year San Juan I have added a link if you are interested in its meaning.  The atmosphere was electric and even more so seeing as Spain beat France in the football.  We were walking along the beach at midnight in shorts and t-shirt eating an ice cream (magic).   We just wished that our daughters and families could have been here to enjoy it too.

I had a video link with my sister on Friday and she showed me how to make these beautiful flowers
so I just had to use them on a card I was just starting for a challenge.










I would like to enter this card into these challenges

I have used a whoopsi Daisy image and have coloured her with copics.
The swirl stamp is by Rhonna Farrer called Doeuble scroll.
I used Tim Holtz Marmalade sistress ink to colour the card and for some of the flowers and Tim Holtz evergreen bough for the flowers too.  I also coloured the ribbon with evergreen bough.

Thank you for taking the time to look and for any comments left.
