Crafty Cardmakers - Challenge #71 - Olympic Spirit, and
CASology - Week #5 - Pond
However, not to be outdone, I was rattling by brains last night and having a little browse of the internet, when I came across a vintage swimming lady from The Graphics Fairy. Apart from the hair colour, she bares a striking resemblance to myself in a swimming costume and I too am as graceful as this when entering the water (ROFL) so that'll do me, I thought. Here she is ...
I coloured her skin with Promarkers and paper pieced her cap. Some DP for the sky and water and a dotty embossing folder. I could only think of really cheesy sentiments like 'make a big spash on your birthday' or 'have a swimming time' so I left it plain.
I thought I might be stretching it a bit with the Pond challenge but I'm sure in countries where it's warm enough you all partake in a bit of pond skinny dipping!
It's hubby's birthday today (gasp, horror - I "bought" him a card) but my daughter baked him a yummy marble cake ...
We're off to Edinburgh for the weekend to catch up with family and friends so I'll see you at the beginning of next week.
Have a lovely weekend and thanks for dipping in.

Gasp! You bought a card!!! We'll let you off as I know you hate making masculine cards, but you really are very good at them, you know! She's a slender thing diving into the water here, wish I looked that graceful but I hate putting my head under water so diving from me... ever...!
What a FUN card! Love the cut out oval and that gal is a hoot! :) Thanks for joining us at CASology!
Fabulous card! Absolutely adore how you put it all together!
Hi Suze
Fun image of the bathing beauty and now we know what you look like when wearing your swimming costume!!!!
Belated birthday wishes to your husband and yes, shame on you for buying a card when you created cards that are so stunning.
