Take a break from winter...

Greetings everyone.  Does anyone still like winter?  We have another storm coming in...right now it's just the winds, but more snow is on it's way....oh joy!  Needless to say, global warming doesn't include warmer winters!  So how can we kick-start spring?  I thought I would give it a go with a summer themed card.... 


This is another image from Just Inklined, titled Seaside Connor Crabbing.  Once again, I've used the 'out of the box technique' to cut the image, after colouring with copics.  On the card itself, I've expanded on the theme with some stenciled waves and stamped fish.  Then some washi tape for added interest and clear circle stickers and a bit of doodling for some water droplets or bubbles.

Other stamps I have used:
Inkadinkado - Butterfly
Daisy & Dandelion - Gone fishing

Now doesn't this make you feel warmer.....well, perhaps if you jack the heat up some!  lol.  One thing's for certain...we definitely have something to look forward to!  Warmer weather!!!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay safe and warm!

  5. Haha one way to try and get the weather to change. Hope the storm isn't too bad. Out back garden flooded overnight but luckily Ken put a pump in a few years ago and when he switched it on it soon subsided. Love your fun card.
