Number 8


 Good morning, sun's disappeared for a while- it actually looks like rain, something we haven't seen for a while here in the SE, attested by our very sad lawns! I think a lot of re-seeding is going to be needed.

A Christmas card today, featuring tis sweet little angel, singing her heart out. She's one of Mo Manning's new images and is available HERE in the new shop. I've coloured her with my markers and kept the design very simple, I used pastels for the background and stamped and embossed some tiny stars and the sentiment.

I'm off now to take Marvin for his walk..I suspect it could be a wet one!

Thanks for visiting

Chris

  7. Not had a chance to colour any of Mo's new stuff up yet Chris, you made a wonderful job of this, beautiful sweet card.
    As for our weather, it hasn't been like yours at all, we have had a hot summer but rain and lots of dull days too, in short my little lawn looks fine. However, on Monday my eldest sons birthday, the heat really got to me, it reached 110% in the garden, no one could believe so I made everyone go look at the temps, abit much for me.xx

  12. This card radiates such gentle charm—the way you've colored that sweet angel makes her feel truly alive, as if she's mid-song with joy in her heart. The pastel background adds a dreamy softness, and those tiny embossed stars are the perfect magical touch. I love how the simplicity of the design lets her shine so beautifully.
