DELIGHTFUL THURSDAY DT..



Hello everyone...

A chilly one this early morning..Winter has set in now and we have  had two boomer frosts over the last two days, but then the Sun comes out and it does turn into a beautiful day..

I have been asked often if I get snow and the answer is always no..but 3 days ago we had flurries...so cold and with flurries which melted as it hit the ground..so that was quite exciting when you have never seen it.

Onto today....this is my card share for DELIGHTFUL THURSDAY 

A very sweet SEAHORSE  from the DIGITAL DELIGHTS STORE 



Isn't he lovely..all coloured up with copics and Faber Castell pencils for shading..and I used a wave border punch from Fiskars for the frame.



Lots of spots with copics for the background and a sprinkle of seed beads along the bottom...the die for sea weed is a MB die "Flutter vine"..





Then I was going to add a shell or two and went quite crazy with them..a small bag of shell pieces I found in my stash..to make necklaces I think, as they had little holes in them.

So there we go..going to schedule this card as it is already Thursday morning here and picking my youngest son up from the airport this afternoon as he is coming home for the weekend so it will be good to see him.

Super card Chrissy, you have such a knack for picking exactly the right embellishments for your lovely images... the shells are so right with the cute little seahorse, and the wave border frames him perfectly.

Such a fabulous card Chrissy, that really is a cute image, he's just the sweetest!

So you liked the look of the snow then Chrissy, you'd love it here when we get a good 'flurry', when we get several inches lying on the ground it's not a lot of fun though I have to say, my hubby lived in the country as a boy and got snowed in on several occasions, couldn't even get out to go to school, not such a bad thing for a young lad! LOL

You are very resourceful Chrissy! How perfect does those little shell pieces look with that design. I love it. Glad the snow didn't hang around, always nice to look at but after that it can go lol. Surely a bad sign if you are getting snow over there mind you!
