Charisma Cardz - Summer

Morning all, today I have my last D.T card for Charisma Cardz challenge, sniff, but the good news is that I will now be able to play along with the challenges! This week the theme is Summer.

I have made a card using the gorgeous papers by Cosmo Cricket Tea for Two.

The fancy label is from Cosmo Cricket's Tea for Two Element Deck, from The Ribbon Reel. I chose this charming vintage image of children running through a summer meadow.

I stitched together two colours of chevron striped twill, from The Ribbon Reel, and layered this over a panel of the patterned check paper edged with a MS punch.

I used a pre cut kraft tag, and stamped in Frayed Burlap the newsprint stamp from Hero Arts, then over the top, stamped the greeting from Waltzingmouse Stamps in Rich Cocoa. I distressed the edges of the tags with Crushed Olive, and Scattered Straw Distress Inks.

Inside, I used some of the checked paper edged with the MS punch, and lined the card with SU Very Vanilla card, and distressed with Scattered Straw and Wild Honey.

Finally I added some seam binding and cream lace, both from The Ribbon reel, and some gems and brads from stash. The little yellow roses and cream cherry blossom are also from The Ribbon Reel.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
