And hello from sunny Peel ...... the Walmsley's are on staycation again!
We arrived at our little cottage on Saturday ...... it's lovely, and right by the beach which is fab!
It was Peel Day yesterday (Sunday) ....... the TT may have been cancelled again this year but, the usual Mad Sunday celebrations here still went ahead.
In the ten years that we've been on the island this was our first Peel Day ..... I don't think it will be our last, it was fun!
Not quite as many bikes as there would normally be I'm guessing but, just look at that sky ....... the weather was glorious!
We've got a little more cloud today but, it was just as nice strolling along the prom this morning, before we stopped off and had fish and chips at lunchtime (yum!) and we sat and enjoyed the view!
Anyway, enough of all that ...... I'm here to play along with this months CAS Christmas Challenge
I stamped the snowman onto a piece of white cardstock using the black Versafine Clair ink, and then heat embossed him with a clear sparkle embossing powder .....
I added a touch of colour to the stamped image using ZIG markers, and some festive red glitter glue
To make the snowman stand out a little from the background I outlined him using a blue ZIG marker and then used a paintbrush and quite a bit of water to pull the colour out and create this soft wash of blue around him
I added a sentiment underneath, and finished off with a few dots of white Enamel Accents to give the look of falling snow.
There's no chance of snow here, thank goodness. I am hoping for a few nice sunsets this week ...... we're in Sunset City after all!
Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day.
Cheerio until next time ........
