Allsorts Challenge #686

 The theme for the latest Allsorts Challenge is **Summer** and I know that so far this year we've had lots of sunshine and record high temperatures but in the past Summer has often been about sunshine and showers so I thought that my card would fit the bill.  It came about because I was sorting out some of the 'saved' bits and pieces on my desk and I pulled out a little collection of coloured arcs which were cut in all the colours for a previous rainbow project.  As is often the case I ended up with far too many but actually when I sorted through them I only had sufficient to built one more rainbow in the correct colour sequence.  I sorted out some other stamps and dies along with pieces of card to put this together as a 'get well' card. I was tempted to keep the rest of the rainbow bits 'just in case' but made myself discard them - brave move on my part I thought as I'm a serious hoarderšŸ¤£.

  1. This is a charming creation with the combo of the rainbow and those cute checkered wellies filled with flowers! I too have to force myself to discard snippets - I guess it's hard to change old habits of saving for another day!

  4. I had to smile when I saw this beautiful card. After our record temps of last week, this week has started overcast cooler and the odd shower. Just in time for the school holidays.
