Without the rain...

Good afternoon all and hope that your week is going well. My household seems to be chugging along in it's usual fashion, although we're all getting a bit fed up of this rain we're getting!  Tilly the Dog is definitely not keen - and to top it all we had a few flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder last night which she REALLY doesn't like! I sloshed down the garden this morning in my wellies to feed the birds and even they all looked at bit bedraggled & depressed! Sigh. The sun has come out at the moment but I keep seeing big black clouds looming over us and then another downpour. It's really not doing much to help my mood at the moment so feeling rather grey inside too....

So, with the rain in mind, I thought I'd share this little card with you


This is a digi from Sassy Cheryl - 'Charlie's green umbrella' - although my Charlie has a more aqua coloured one lol! 

I've coloured the image with promarkers and picked a different colour combo for this one - aqua and peach - and think it works quite well.  The swirl and flowers are from Marianne dies with added pearls and the sentiment was just printed on the computer! The gorgeous papers are from a First Edition pad called Summer Breeze that accidentally fell into my basket when I last visited my local craft shop CardCraft UK! Sometimes it's a curse and a blessing to have a craft shop nearby!
So quite a simple card from me today, but hope you like it.
Back soon, Kim
