Fabulous

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's really hot and humid here these days.  Summer has arrived!

Here's where I'd like to be....


I'll have to settle for dreaming for now, but watercoloring this image was fun.

I've stamped with Memento ink on mixed media paper and colored with
Distress re-inkers and my waterbrush.

I used a sentiment from the set and topped with two thin frames.

I'm sitting alongside you on that bench, Bonnie! AND I have just the beach for it!
Gosh, this is just the cutest stamp and sentiment ever!

I love this card - three friends and cocktails on the beach - who could ask for more. The colors are beautiful - so bright and clean. I am amazed at the suggestion of ocean fading into the sky. Your painting/coloring is exceptional. I love every thing about this card. I think Art and I should reconsider moving to Cary.

Your watercoloring is wonderful! The ladies are hilarious, and I'm with you--I'd (almost always) rather be on the beach even though the heat wave hasn't quite arrived. Think it's due tomorrow!

This is a scene I see often here at the lake, Bonnie, but it hasn't really been warm enough days in a row for it to happen. You colored those fun loving ladies beautifully and I love the addition of the navy frames.

I'd love to be sitting there with you, Bonnie ~ perhaps in the polka dots! This is just as cute as it can be!

I love your three sweet ladies enjoying the beach and their drinks and ice creams, and beautifully watercoloured and with a fun sentiment. It's very hot here in the south west of England today at 33°...doesn't get this hot very often thank goodness. x

Such a cute card and fun sentiment. Your coloring is fabulous. I think I could sit there with you.

The beach is best when it's hot and humid, and these three ladies have got the right idea! You've colored them beautifully. Love their outfits, and I really like the idea of "upgraded versions of fabulous". I'll have to tell all my friends. I'm so glad you shared in our beach challenge at Double D!

I love the watercoloring and then the formal like frames. It all comes together for a wonderfully fun card. I do want to be there too.
