Some Odd Girl Challenge

Just a quick one to share my entry to the Some Odd Girl sketch challenge this month. My card doesn't strictly follow the sketch but I hope they won't mind too much when they see what I did with Tropical Mae.

Inspired by the lack of Summer in the UK this month (probably the wettest July ever recorded), I wanted my entry to radiate warmth and sunshine. I attempted this by creating a sunray design made up of various patterned papers to provide a suitable background for Mae.

Mae herself has been coloured with Promarkers and I paper pieced her dress with a lovely pp from Basic Grey.

The sentiment 'blue skies and sunny days' is from a Papertrey Ink stamp set.
