life's a beach

We have had the Heavens open up overnight and today, not enough to 
put the fires out but surely enough to prevent them from spreading.
Welcome Kathy to my blog.
Loving these CAS or LIM cards of late so here is one I made today.
Alcohol inks background, Inkadinkado Flamingo Stamp set,
Partial cut die from Paper Wishes. Copic Markers. My stamp was
fussy  cut after colouring and adhered to  my
ink background...

My choice is alcohol inks

Classic Design...anything goes

I just love how you layer with inks and design - it's such a unique talent you have! This flamingo is so amusing with that hat, and I love all the white mesh at the bottom! Hopefully more rain is on the way to end your devastating wildfires - it's been so difficult to comprehend what your country is going through.

Hi Annie, a stunning alcohol ink background and love the flamingo in the sunhat. We have had a downpour overnight and the nearest fire doesn't seem to have progressed any closer to us, the firies taking the cooler weather to put in a 50km backburn to protect the villages in the mountains before Friday's heat wave hits again... Have a wonderful week... and Happy New Year... Megan
