Well, that's the theme for the challenge over at The Outlawz today.
As I live in South Africa, in the Southern Hemisphere, the best way to relax is to go for an early morning swim, before the sun gets too hot! And "Morning Swim" is the name of the digi image featured on my card:
The image is by the talented artist Nana Vic, and is available in her store here. I coloured the image using my alcohol markers and did some highlighting with a white gel pen:
The cloudy sky was created by using a colourless blender and a white gel pen.
The cream fancy flatback pearls are from my own stock of Jencrafty Goodies and are available here (sorry - only to South Africans).
It is so very hot and humid here in Durban at the moment - it's 10.15pm (the temp is 29C and the humidy at 81% - I think need a swim!
I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

This is gorgeous.Thanks for sharing with us at Delightful Challenges.xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Jen your card is lovely!! I was admiring the clouds in the first image trying to work out how you had done it, I should have scrolled down just a bit more and you explained how you did. I am going to give it a go as the results are fantastic. With the weather here, it would be great to take off to the beach to cool down but unfortunately I'm now over 6 hrs from the beach. Thank you for sharing your card and good luck in all the challenges you have entered with it. *Hugs*
