bye, bye sweet August! CPS #182

The last day of August is heading into evening & I sure do hate to see it go!  I know it's not the official end of Summer but it feels like it so I made one more Summer-y card today to say farewell to my favorite month.  I tried to capture the feel of bright, sunny days & beautifully colored Summer flowers.  I found a great sketch over at CPS #182 and used it as my design inspiration.  The supplies I used are kraft CS from Jo-ann's, the bright funky papers & "pops" layered sticker are from Basic Grey (sugar rush & origins), the flower is from the $1 bin at M's, the tiny gems are from The Paper Studio, the ribbon & button are from my stash & the alphas are from Momenta, The Paper Studio & Bazzill.  I used a little white paint on the edges & the Clouds decorative scissors by Fiskars to cut the scalloped strip.  I like the loud colors & the crazy mix of accents on this card, it's a sweet goodbye to a wonderful August.  Thanks for looking at my card,  delisa
