We have been experiencing a heat wave here this week. Where I live hasn't been to bad but some places have been 42degrees centigrade. Yesterday was our first cooler day in weeks, a real treat. It even rained a little which is desperately needed. The temperature is on it's way back up today but the repreive was certainly appreciated.

Here is my card
I did the paint stripes with masking tape. I dabbed the ink onto a strip of masking tape and then placed it onto the card stock. When the tape is removed it leaves this lovely effect.
I will also be entering this over at CASology where the brief is
