The summer months sure are going by fast - and I'm happy about that because it's been so HOT here! 😩Bring on Fall please!!!! For this month's challenge, I didn't see much to go on with the inspiration photo, in fact, to me it just looked rather blah. It took me a while to come up with an idea and although I'm not thrilled with it, at least I made something.
On white cardstock I stamped the flowers in Spring Rain and Blueberry and the leaves in Soft Stone inks. I added a couple flourishes in the corners, finally using my Fancy Flourishes stamp set that I bought at least a year ago!
The sentiment is stamped in Blueberry Sky ink. The card base is white cardstock, with a piece of Spring Rain pattern paper on top. To finish things, I tied white crochet thread around the bottom.
😡I couldn't get a good picture of this card. I normally use Photoshop for editing my pictures, but I upgraded to the Sierra OS and now Photoshop doesn't work with it because it's an older version! I used iPhotos for my editing on this but can't get a brighter picture. Now I'll have to find a Photoshop replacement....any suggestions??

You're not the first to have that problem. I've avoided upgrading in case it happens to Photoshop Elements as well. I also use Lightroom (v.5) which does a great job of editing.
