Beachy Warm Wishes


I have been playing around with my cloud template and using different inks and pens to see which one I like the best. I made these clouds by sponging Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue ink. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't show it so you will just have to believe me when I say that the clouds have a real sparkly shine to them.
Just by choosing my new little CC Designs Beach girl image, Beatrice, by colouring all that blue sky, by picturing her frolicking in the summer sun - even though it is winter here in Melbourne, I am actually feeling very very warm. Hold on ... no ... that has passed. Cold again!

  3. Fabulous summery card, Jenny. I LOVE those clouds! It's meant to be summer but it's more like autumn here in SW Scotland. Meanwhile, our teamies in the south of the UK are basking in the summer sunshine... jealous, me? Yes I am! xx

  10. Cooooeeee, Jenny - remember me? So sorry I've not been by for so long, forgive me?

    I feel terrible that I've missed so many lovely cards - and your paper piercing frenzy, it looks like it produced some wonderful results.

    This one is wonderful as well, perfect clouds.

    Have a good weekend.
