Totally Gorjuss Challenge 88 - Summertime

We haven't had much of a summer so far, last weekend was as good as it has got!  Yesterday, we had thunder, lightning, rain, hail and sunshine and today it's warm and muggy and we've just had a heavy shower of rain. 

I've made two cards for this challenge both very different, the one below was almost a by product of the second crd as I had intended to use the 'summer' lace word on the other card and sprayed it.  But then it just didn't work and I liked the sprayed paper so much I decided to use it as a background.  If you look carefully you can see the outline where the word was placed.
Dylusions Spray Ink, Summer 'lace' paper, Graphicus Stamps. flowers and button from stash.
Stamp from this month's Craft Stamper, coloured with Inktense pencils, striped paper freebie from Crafts Beautiful.
