Bali, a surfers paradise



Good Morning peeps, is it cold or what here in the Fens today, the heating kicked in during the night again so a sure sign colder days have arrived.

I thought I would share the card I made for one of our son's Birthdays. I know I am safe to show it as he and his wife went off to Bali at the weekend and I have no doubt that by now his surf boards have been well and truly tested in the Bali Sea which sits within the Indian Ocean waters. He's been a keen surfer since he was a teenager and Bali has always been one of his dream destinations for surfing.

The stamps are a mixture of Stampscapes, art impression and I had the silhouette surfer with his board specially made for this card. Inks are of course Adirondack dye inks and I also used the Speedball brayer.

Have a good day everyone, I'm not likely to be about for a few days now due to the medical tests etc., I mentioned Saturday.

    This is stunning Brenda, you could just be there. And wouldn't it be lovely to be warm! Up here in coastal Aberdeenshire it is pretty cold and the strong wind makes it seem even worse.

    Hope you are behaving and looking after yourself lol!

    the pink tinges of your sky are a lovely touch & I love the reflection of that moon in the water. I hope the tests went well too & that you weren't too exhausted by it all.
