As is usual here in this country we are completely unequipped to cope with extremes of temperature or weird weather!
If it snows, everything grinds to a stop, if it rains heavy we can't seem to cope with floods and if it's very hot we can't deal with that either!Dire warnings about what you should and shouldn't do in the heat this last few days - sometimes I think that people are incapable of thinking for themselves and having basic common sense!
My friend here on the front of this bike is also not very sensible - no hands!!!
And high heels??? 🙈
But how wonderful to be so full of life and simply enjoy - being!
A bright dress, a big hat, your fave shoes - and being happy with your 'bezzie' and your doggy and doing something daft like freewheeling on a bike - we all need a bit of happy abandon now and then (however old we are!)
The stamp is from Penny Black and I coloured with my waterbrush pens.
I saw a similar card where only part of a stamp was coloured and thought I would give this a go.
I stamped the rest of the image on the inside so it looked like they were travelling along (but forgot to take a pic!)

Thanks for visiting, I am sorry I have been absent for a little while - real life caught up with me this week - I could have done with a bit of freewheeling! x

Beautifully colored. She does look so happy and carefree. What fun! [Bunny]
This is just wonderful. I love this image by Penny Black, not sure I have ever seen it but it sure looks like they're having a grand ole time! Thanks for joining us at Back to Basics and Beyond.
Loving this brilliant design Viv...x
A super exuberant card - love the effect of the partially coloured image which focuses on the main character.
Fabulous card. I love the part coloured aspect of this, it makes it stand out even more. I wish I had the energy to do something silly, I can vaguely remember when I did though. The most sensible thing I've done lately is to put housework on hold until it cools down abit.. Hopefully that'll happen soon because it's getting rather dusty in here lol, Lynne X
This is just gorgeous. I love the part colouring and the bold colours you have chosen. What a good idea to stamp again inside the card, I shall have to remember that one xx
Oh, what a brilliant card, love the contrast of the colourful "driver' and the black and white 'backseat driver'.
Never seen this stamp before but love it. CAS at it's best.

Fabulous free and easy, some might say RECKLESS image . .. which has made a terrific card.
Has it been hot? I didn't notice!!!!
I don't like the sound of "real life" catching up with you. Sending love and hugs your way my friend.
Love Sarnie xxxx
Beautiful! Colouring just one of the ladies makes her a real focal point. Thank you for sharing at Back to Basics.
Oh I so agree with what you are saying Viv!! I love your card and the idea of just coloring one bit..most effective. Stay cool xx
This is just wonderful!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at the Color Throwdown this week!

A great card Viv, love the image and it works so well with the partial colouring.
We're back to rain and grey skies here in the N.E - why can't the weather just behave!

Congrats on the shout out at Colour Throwdown Viv - this is just wonderful! So bright and breezy!
Your ladies are such fun Viv and a great idea to colour just the one lady and leave the rest of the image black and white. x
This card is wonderful! You combined challenges perfectly in this design and it's fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing it with us at the BBB Challenge Blog!
