Today it is raining. Heavily.
After a walk yesterday morning I spent the rest of the day at the craft desk - I can't say I was very productive! So in the absence of my own ideas I turned to my saved 'Inspirations' folder.
This card has been reproduced by lots of people in different ways so there are too many people to give credit to - I think the last one I looked at was where the 'sun' was done in different coloured strips of paper.
I've gone for the easy option of inks blended within a circle mask.
A sentiment stamp, a flock of tiny birds and a die cut boat. Nothing simpler and it gave me the satisfaction that at least I have made SOMETHING!
What I wouldn't give to be drifting along on super smooth super clear blue sea right now - beats the hell out of a grey sky and wet moorland!
Have a lovely day whatever you're doing and thanks for stopping by. x

I'm with you... Lets go sailing! Beautiful card and so peaceful. I too had to put a sweater on... crazy but at least easier to sleep at night.
Gorgeous CAS card, love the intense orange and yellow, the black birds and sentiment really pop too and that is one gorgeous diecut, Cathy x
A beautiful card - I love the blended colours for your sun.

This is a gorgeous card and just the right colour to brighten a dull day which is what we had yesterday. Today there is sunshine, blue sky with white clouds and quite a stiff breeze which would be good for sailing! Quite chilly compared with the early part of the week.
A great card Viv and I'm with you - love the idea of sailing into the sun instead of this cold wet weather we've got now.
Thanks for sharing with us at Try it on Tuesday,

I wish - keep trying not to think which Greek Island we would have been in each morning this week. But is's a super CAS card.

Awesome CAS card! Had the heater on here too, but we are in winter so guess it is allowed!
A really super CAS card Viv, love the colours of the sun and a cute little boat.
Had heating on last night, could do with it again tonight but dare not push my luck.

Stunning CAS card, Viv. A beautiful design.
Yesterday it was so cold after a spell of hot weather for several weeks, then today the sun came back out but it was so windy. We haven't had a downpour of rain since before locksdown, just a couple of light showers, so we've had to water our newly laid lawn twice a day. Very strange weather! xx
This is fabulous. Love the colour of your sun. Mixed weather here today too. One minute sunny the next raining. Hugs Mrs A.

Perfection, Viv! This is a perfect card for a guy or a gal! We've had roller coaster weather here too.
Super serene scene. I get sea sick, so I'm not going sailing with you! But i love the IDEA of sailing idly along the coast!!!
V windy & cloudy here, def need warm clothes on!
Hugs, Sarn xxx
Very mixed weather up our way too Viv and certainly had to put a sweater on too x. What a calm and beautiful card, with wonderful blending and you made this design your own Viv x.
Beautiful! Your inked circle is gorgeous and I wanna be there - away from COVID, away from riots...
I'm definitely coming out in a boat with you but can someone else do the sailing while I just laze about on deck in the sunshine?! Love this design and your inky sun is stunning. Love that die cut boat too - where's that from? Vicky x

I saw this the other day and thought I had left a comment, but obviously not! It doesn't matter if something similar has been done before, your take on it is superb. I just love the clean lines and that gorgeous sun xx
This is gorgeous Viv. Oh it is so summery. Thanks for sharing with us at Try It On Tuesday. Hugs-Erika
Almost sounds like you live in Washington State when you were talking weather.. It's been so cold and rainy here.. I LOVE your card. I love the scene and the sun colors and sail boat die is just perfect. Love the CAS design. Thanks for sharing over at Crafty Catz.
