Summertime, and the livin' is easy ....

I've been playing with my new Stacey Yacula stamps and have created a summery scene using four different stamps from the new release.

The large tree and background hillside is called 'The Perfect Spot' and is a huge stamp which filled the card base.  I then added in some scattered flowers to the side, and then fussy cut out the bear and bunny to raise them up on foam pads.

I've paper pieced the tree, and the hedges in the background, and used some chalk on the grassy areas.

All we need now is some real sunshine!

Looks like a party to me! Super awesome, and so much work, not to mention amazingly adorable! Reckon there are any scones left? A squirrel wouldn't take up much room under the tree.... xx
