Isabella's Sketchbook Challenge Summer Fun

It's Isabella day and that means time for another great challenge.  Our challenge today is to create something that depicts summer fun. For me that has to be a day out with girlfriends and flowers.  Some time ago my friend invited me to Mott Gardens and I had a blast.  We walked among the grounds and admired the perfect landscape and beautiful flowers.  The best thing about going out with my friend, Sandee, is that she has she is a flower expert of sorts.   She identifies all the flowers for me and tells me how they should be planted, watered, and fed.  And as usual it goes in one ear and then out the another...so me.  I really needed her help with the flower on my card today called Evening Flower by Isabella. Not having her over my shoulder, I was left to my own devises. Being in the mood for purple, it became a amethyst flower colored with Copics.  I liked how it turned out but as to the scientific details for an evening flower I am at a loss. *grin*.  Suffice it to say I am using poetic licence.

We would love for you to be a part of our challenge this week.  To participate you need an Isabella image found HERE.  Post your creation to the Isabella Challenge Blog.  A random winner is given 2 free images and an "I Win" badge to wear proudly on your blog.  I encourage you to visit the other DT gals as they have beautiful cards to share.

Today's Blessing: I am off to the Chantilly, VA Scrapbook Show this week.  I will be doing the Make and Take at the Our Daily Bread Designs booth.  Stop by and we will make a card together.

Thanks for stopping by,
Randi
