I just returned from walking my little dog Tilly on Plymouth Hoe. It is such an absolutely glorious day I just had to write about it! The sea was really calm and there were just a few wispy clouds in an otherwise clear blue sky. Even at 10am this morning, the air had just a little freshness and the sun, although low in the sky held a promise of more heat to come. The sun's rays were glinting off the water, where a few boats were lazily skimming across the water. Truly a day to give thanks for our blessings, I know how blessed I am to live in such a beautiful part of the country.

Now, to my latest card, shown above. This is my second entry for this week's Let's Get Stamping sketchie challenge over on Craftbubble. I decided to stick with the same monochrome theme with a touch of red, that I used for my first entry. So, this little Greetings Farm image was coloured with ProMarkers in various shades of grey (who would dare to suggest this might hint at a self-portrait!!) with a tiny amount of red used on her bow, to tie in with the red Prima flower, brad and luscious red strawberry charm, which I bought from Elaine over at Quixotic Paperie. I followed the sketch quite losely this time, using the flower as the circular element and black ribbon in place of the tag, with a touch of crystal glaze to highlight her bow. No glitter or sparkle on this card, and no sentiment on the front so that it could be used for any occasion.
