Off to Sea in a Blue Boat!

Hello Friends and Visitors, I hope you are well and that you all had a good weekend. We had a quiet one, though we did go for a drive through to Nairn, but it was so busy, we decided to go with plan B and shop in Sainsbury. That wasn't a great experience either, quite a few empty shelves. So bought what I could then drove home. The highlight of the drive was spying a field of alpacas, but we couldn't stop as they were quite far in and we would probably be trespassing. I do love these animals, they are so sweet, and their fleece makes for even warmer knitted garments than sheep yarn.

Our boiling heat and blazing sunshine has disappeared somewhat, thankfully, and I think we has some rain through the night. What a sad state this planet is in with all the extreme weather some countries are experiencing, my heart goes out to all the peoples suffering either from the floods or the fires, not just people either, all the poor animals that are loosing their lives too is just so awful. I really hope humanity can do something about it, or there's going to be no planet left.

With that less than cheery note, here is today's coloured picture;

 

Another of Johanna Basford's books, this is the first page I've done in it and used mainly Caran D'Ache Luminance pencils, my background was made with DI, still learning how to blend them well. As usual I added Stickles for some sparkle. On the whole I'm pretty pleased with it.

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments on my previous card.

That's me for now, keep safe and I'll see you soon,
