A Dip in the Sea!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are well and having a good day. We have sunshine and a little warmth, made me want to go out for a walk this  morning.

We walked down to the University Campus to have a look at the swans and those of you who have been following me for a while will know that for the last few years there has been a family of swans on the lochans in the campus grounds, and mum and dad swan have raised three lots of cygnets, I think it's three, and they have managed to keep them all safe. Quite amazing, and they have had 7 and 8 at a time, so that in my book is good parenting.

Sadly, last year the male swan was killed by a dog, yes there are lots of dog walkers who let their pooches run free, and this poor swan died as a result of an attack.  We did wonder what Mrs swan would do, but she turned up with a new man and they are now building their nest, so it looks as if  he has come up to the mark. and suits her. So looking forward to seeing more cygnets later this year.

So, I've a summer card today;

A fabulous new stamp from Kim Moody made by Chocolate Baroque and I've coloured it with Altenew Watercolour paints and Sparkle Pens. The parasol, bucket and spade and deckchair I've stamped and cut out and added as embellishments. Sentiment from CB.
Background papers is from Crafty Individuals and the card base is from SU. 

Just had to show the lovely paper in the inside of the card too, it's all from  The Seaside paper pad.
I love this image of beach huts, something I would love to have, not too many of them around the Scottish beaches though.

Thank you so much for the lovely comments on my last card, I appreciated your visits.

I missed visiting your blogs yesterday, so I hope to catch up today.
That's me for now, take care and see you soon,
