Taking A Dip

Good Morning

Well, the rain is back in Manchester!!  I enjoyed our 2-day summer!!

How about this for fabulous service.  I ordered some of the die-namics dies from Tracy at Dies to die for at    4 pm on Tuesday and they arrived yesterday!!  It's the first time I have ordered from them, but it definitely won't  be the last.

My card for today is made using one of the lovely scenes from the Cute Companions Summer Stories cd-rom, and some stamps from one of the accompanying stamp plates.

These stamps are such a lot of fun to work with.  I stamped the images onto watercolour paper using Sepia Versafine ink, and coloured them using my Lyra's.  The scene is decoupaged and then the characters added.

I really love this scene.  When we had our caravan, the journey there took us through a little village called Wrea Green.  It looks just like this scene.  One time we were waiting behind a car on the road at the side of the green.  We couldn't work out why the car had just stopped in the middle of the road until a mother duck and 5 ducklings waddled out across the road and back to the pond.  So sweet!!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
