In Need of Something Bright!

It's grey and cold.  I don't mind cold, I don't mind winter, but I do love blue skies and the suns rays warming falling on your skin!  So I needed to make something a little cheerful.  Plus my husband has gone away for work this morning and will only be back in just short of 3 weeks!  I know that for some this comes as total pleasure, but not for me, I love to know that he is around here somewhere, not on another continent!  But before I allow myself to get to soppy, here is my attempt at cheering up today!

Paper: Neenah Solar White, Hero Arts Layering paper
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Adirondack- Denim, Copic Markers
Stamps: Hero Arts
Other: Glossy Accent, Black and White Enamel accent

It was fun and simple masking the beach ball!  I wish I was more colour conscious really, I think I could have chosen better colours, maybe I need to spend some time in a beach shop!!!  Other than that, the card is quite self-explanatory.  I coloured the balls with my Copic Markers (I didn't do any fancy shading here).  I also added some glossy and enamel accents to the little white circles and black enamel accent to the centre of the ball.

Have an absolute wonderful day!
