Hello... I hope you are all well today and having a nice weekend. Big hugs to those who are unwell or going through difficult times.
I haven't done very much crafting lately... but had an hour to spare last week and felt like getting inky.. so here's what I came up with... I imagine this sailor is rowing ashore into the sunset... from his ship.. in some exotic place... maybe Jamaica?
I created the background colour with my ink dusting brushes and distress inks. Then used Stampscape Stamps for the silhouette details. Finished off by colouring the huts and greenery with Copics.
I'm sorry that I'm not a very good blogger at the moment... my life is bit hectic as my chest keeps flaring up... and I'm having more trouble with my teeth. Hoping to get my teeth fixed very soon though :-D and then I need some tests on my eyes!! Lol... oh the joys of getting old !!
I have hospital appointments every week through September ... so hope you will forgive me if I don't get around to commenting on some days. I can't seem to get motivated to make cards at the moment, so I'm just going with the flow and doing a bit of painting and colouring... might try some cross stitch.... and hopefully my creativity will return when things settle down a bit healthwise.
I'm having a very relaxed Bank Holiday Weekend though... have been enjoying reading my books and magazines... I still have some creations that I made a couple of months back and so I will pop back and show you them... :-)
Take Care and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Love and Hugs

OMG Sue this is stunning!! I can't believe you coloured it, its absolutely perfect. I like the idea of it being Jamaica, it looks like Jamaica to me :) I LOL at your getting old comments, I had my eyes tested on my recent trip home, told the optician all about what ails me and he said 'you are imagining it, there is nothing wrong with your eyes' So went somewhere else..same comment LOL.

Hey, it's good to have it back, really enjoyed it and I sure am going to miss it. I am certain now that it is going to be a happy ending but sorry that Tom has already gone, but think that he may make an appearance in the last episode.
Really love Sunday nights now.
