Fancy a dip.....


Good morning lovely bloggers,
Sorry  I have been unable to blog of late. So much going on here as well as taking care of Sis, life has thrown another real curved ball our way, But will share another time maybe as emotionally drained at present.
Anyway today we have a bit of brightness to look forward to as we are going to a BBQ in a village on the moors. Some of you may remember that one of my gorgeous Grandsons got engaged a couple of weeks ago...well his future inlaws have invited us all to an evening BBQ  so looking forward to that. They own a number of properties in the village...... also have Sisters/ parents/grandparents/Aunties, all living in the village too, so I think  we should be OK for parking at least.....lol
Anyway onto my card, I sat and made this last night as I needed something to keep my mind busy. I am far from happy with it but at least I made something. I am afraid my mojo is somewhere else at present, Please send it home if you find it :(     Mind you I wish I could go hide with it wherever it is....lol  I think I will start a new trend..hibernating in the summer.
 I wanted to enter the ATCAS #19  code..Summer and also the Without Words Beach/holiday Challenge  so this is what I came up with. Sorry I haven't a clue where the little 3D surfer came from, I have had him a few years now. I don't use these sort of images since I found stamping but he was just perfect for my watercolour background. I have to admit I enjoyed doing that bit :)) I usually use ink/water but had a try with my watercolour paint instead. I think its harder to keep it from covering the whole paper when you dip it though...... more practice needed.  However at least the card is CAS :)


Hope you all have a lovely weekend and I will try and make a start on visiting you now and over tomorrow.
 Take care and big hugs to everyone
