And now it's Summer

The Challenge at Just for Fun this week is SUMMER.
I wish this could be true.
I made this calendar page for a lovely group who make every year a calendar together.
I can't wait to see all the other pages, every year the calendar get better.
.
I don't like the winter. I never liked it , but the fact that I broke my elbow last winter makes that I hope for a winter without (a lot of) snow.

 Stamps are from Crafty Individuals.

my favourite rubber stamp

At Just for Fun they want to see your favourite rubber stamp.
At the moment this stamp from Crafty Individuals is my favourite one.
You can see it in 3 different ways on my  blog : in colour, black& white and  this time I put some perfect resist (stampinback) on the stamp and after stamping (and drying) I brayered the background. I love the effect.
It's also perfect for the November Challenge "Winter Wonderland"  at Crafty Individuals
