Good morning, this is a scheduled post as all being well I will be in London on Saturday for lunch and a show- a combined birthday and Mother's Day treat from my daughter. I'm really looking forward to it, the best part being a day spent with my daughter, she is the best company anyone could wish for.
We've had some lovely spring weather this week, on Thursday we took Marvin to the beach- his first dip of the year (if you don't count ginormous puddles that is!). I thought it might be a bit cold by the sea but it was so warm I was casting off layers as we walked- perfectly comfortable in a t shirt, Marv was mega excited to see the sea and rushed straight in - we didn't let him swim for too long as I'm always worried that he'll get limber tail again as its happened a few times now, but the sea was so calm he was fine- and very happy. A real bonus to have a day like this in March and I'm so glad we made the most of it.
My card today is for this fortnight's challenge at Sweet Stampin', the theme is FEMININE, so plenty of scope if you'd like to join in, and we hope you will.
I used a digital stamp this time, one of my older favourites from Mo Manning, this one is available in the shop. I've used Copic markers to colour, added a stamped sentiment and matted the image onto a square of pink cardstock, adding the dots with a white gel pen.
While I remember, there's a gorgeous freebie up for grabs over on Mo's Patreon page.
Don't forget to check out the inspiration from my lovely teamies over at Sweet Stampin' Challenges
Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend.

Sounds like you will have a lovely weekend Chris, how wonderful.
I love the 'Marvin' stories, he sounds so full of life bless him, but I must confess I will have to look up what Limber tail is...
Your card is a delight. I do love this sweet image, she is so cute.
I have a few of Mo's best waiting to be coloured up at the minute and the freebie is so cute.
Have a lovely Mothers day. xx
It sounds like you're having a wonderful weekend planned and the weather certainly adds to the joy. Marvin's enthusiasm for the beach and the thoughtfulness you put into his care are heartwarming. The card you've created is absolutely delightful, with its charming image and attention to detail. The theme of femininity lends itself beautifully to such creative designs, and Mo Manning's stamps are always a treasure to see used so effectively.
Beautiful card Chris, amazing colouring on your image. Hope you have a wonderful weekend with your daughter xx
Gorgeous CAS card Chris, beautiful image with lovely colours and great card design. I do hope you have a lovely day with your daughter in London with some sunny weather. It's been a sunny week here too and the forecast is for more next week fingers crossed. Glad that Marvin enjoyed his day at the beach.
