Rain or Shine !

Hi Crafty Peeps :o)

This is going to be a super quick post as I'm off out the door shortly and I need to get this card in at ColourQ before the deadline later!!

I just love the rich colours for this weeks palette and was determined to use them so after a brainstorming session with my stamps I made this card this morning.....


Love this sweet little Unity stamp which I ordered amongst other stash with my gift vouchers for Simon Says Stamp :) I tried very hard to get the colours right and then the camera has slightly distorted them too but I think you'll agree they're close :)

We had a great time at the bowling alley .... a few strikes by everyone including James!!!
A few aches and pains this morning from using muscles I forgot I had!! Lol

Thanks for looking

Jenny X

  36. Isn't it funny, you don't think of bowling as exercise per se, but it definitely reminds you of some different parts you don't use often! Hopefully the aches disappear shortly!
    I absolutely love the umbrella, the perfectly coloured background, and the amazing shading on the couple hiding out behind the umbrella - one of those deceptively simple cards with so many details :)

  37. This is so sweet! I really love the paper pieced umbrella and that cloudy background is amazing! I love when you do your arty shading thing on your cards - it always blows me away.
    Glad bowling was good and there were plenty of strikes. I probably wouldn't be able to move my arms if I went! :)
