Waiting on some better weather...

I'm back!  Here's hoping you are all faring well.  Here in Ontario, Canada we are still in recovery mode from some nasty winter weather.  Many power outages, downed trees, treacherous roads, and heaven forbid....no internet!  Don't mind me, but I had to find a bit of humour in it all.

So getting back into the swing of things, I'm going with a fresh summer image with absolutely no snow in it!


Here, I've used another lovely image from Just Inklined....Thatched cottage, which brings to mind my holidays last year in England.  In case you are wondering, the weather there was very good with very little rain!

Colouring is done with copics and spectrum noir markers, as I found a set of these just before Christmas.  I've stayed with a nice simple design to let the image take centre stage.

I would like to wish you all good health and happiness for the New Year, and thank you for your visits and kind comments.  Perhaps I could also wish for you, and me, a nice early spring.....

    Love the house scene on your fabulous card Joyce. Ken and I have been hearing about the Canadian ice storms and wishing you well through it all. Glad your internet has been restored and that you are keeping your good humour.
    Wishing you a wonderfully creative new year filled with love, peace, health and happiness.
