Cheers!

 Hello there
It's cooled down a little over here and it's a lot more bearable but I'm still spending most of my time indoors. I've done a fair bit of sewing but the past couple of days I've pulled out my paints again. 
Today's card is for my friends over at Double D Challenges

 
I couldn't resist when I saw that board... Guess what caught my eye? Yep, those drinks
 
 
The drinks are digital images, printed onto vellum and fussy cut to add to the scene I painted - Care to join me?


I may not be having a holiday this year but I still have my imagination - I did resist putting a beach in the scene... One thing I am trying to do is to keep my scenes and painting CAS... I may have cracked it where cards are concerned but when it come to painting, it's knowing when to stop. The focus here are those inviting drinks and with the weather we've been having, what could be better.

I hope to share a few more cards with you soon... I've had a little burst of inspiration but who knows how long that will last.

I hope you are enjoying your day... Be safe

~ Ros ~

Those drinks do look very refreshing Ros and how clever to print them on to vellum, and your lovely hand painted scene does give that holiday vibe. x

Happy it's cooled down for you Ros ... that's probably why you had a burst of inspiration! :) Love this sweet scene. I WOULD like to join you! The drinks look delicious. Great idea to print them onto vellum. I love the beautiful painted elements. Those lovely feathery leaves look like they are blowing in with the warm breeze. Awesome card! xx

You don't have to ask me twice to focus on the drinks, Ros!🙃They look so scrummy especially when it's so hot and you have painted the perfect, most CASlicious veranda for us to enjoy them. (You'd think I've already been drinking [but I haven't] when I tell you that I thought the end of your opening said, "but I've pulled out my pants again." LOL!! Cracked myself up!) Hugs, Darnell
