Summer is Back and a Summer Card


We are experiencing July weather again here in Ontario. The A/C had to be turned on again on Wednesday and it won’t be going off again for quite some time. Today’s high was 27C (80.6F) but with the humidex (a Canadian term meaning humidity index) it feels like 34C (93.20). Over the weekend it will be 31C (87.8) and feel like 38 (100.4). Yikes! Makes me wonder what kind of weather we will be having in the winter months!



Seeing as we are having summer like temperatures, I decided to post this card I made a couple of weeks ago. There are still a few hummingbirds around but not very many. Most of them are on their way south.




This is an Inkadinkado stamp. The bird was coloured with some glossy paint I picked up over at Mary Maxim’s in Port Huron years and years ago and seldom use it. It’s nice but I applied it a bit thick on the bird so it covered up the details a bit. It actually looks better in real life. The background was sponged with chalk. I like the yellow around the bird. Three tiny pearls were added to the left side. The background paper is all from the stash and is also old….another thrift store find.  Yup, still trying to use up the stash. The sentiment and the flowers are silver peel-offs.



That’s all for a hot and humid Friday, September 22, 2017. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and stay safe.

  

Cheers

Violet

  1. Such a pretty summer hummer card Violet! Very much summer here but with definite signs of Fall... The leaves are falling off the walnut trees here.. they always drop early.. the dogwoods are turning red...spider webs everywhere!! Put something down outside for a minute and it will have a spiderweb on it.. A promise of cooler weather next week... I'm going to hold the weatherman to his promise!! Air cond is on here too.. at least a few more days.. Happy Fall Equinox!! Hugs! deb
