Good morning everyone! Another lovely day here, although we may get rain later. Thankfully our summer hasn't been overly hot yet. The contractors are starting today with my new roof. That will be one job down. I actually have four maintenance jobs planned for this year, so it's nice to finally get them started.
Today I'm using a S.W.A.L.K. stamp, that I received from a blogger friend. Thanks so much Sandra! When using a rubber stamp, versus a digi stamp, I like to use my watercolours for something a little different. The colours tend to be softer, and the backgrounds can be fun. For the sky though, I've used pan pastels....love how easy it is to make the clouds.
The border pattern is a sticky tape that I picked up at the dollar store, while the DP is from my stash. The pretty bow sets it off nicely, and just a few pearls for the added touch.
Thanks for stopping by, and I do hope you too are having an enjoyable summer!
