Sweet Poppy Seahorse!

 Hello Everyone, finally I'm back, and I hope you are all well.

We are back from a few days in York, and it was just a lovely break away.
It's been over twenty years since we've been there, and not much change except the expense. Couldn't believe it was £16 per adult to get into the Minster. We got in for nothing years ago. Changed times.

The heat was tremendous, made wandering around so tiring. My friend Mrs. Duck, some of you might have followed her lovely blog a while back, came up with her Husband to spend some time with us and that was just wonderful. It'd been around 6years since we last met up. Ang had never been to York, so she enjoyed he visit. Didn't get to Betty's though, queues a mile long.

Anyhoo, I thought I would post another underwater card,




This lovely seahorse is from Sweet Poppy Stamps, and I've mixed it with some of the Lavinia Foliage stamps and some Sea Urchins. Elements Inks, and some Sparkle.

Hope you like it. 

That's me for now, hoping to get around to see what you've been creating. Enjoy your Sunday, take care,

Good to hear you have had a break Kate, we went to York, a few years ago, it was free then too. The price sounds a game changer for people, I would think? I love your sea card, a beautiful seahorse and gorgeous background.
Sorry to be AWOL.

Never been to York. It sounds an interesting place to visit though. Glad you enjoyed your time with Mrs Duck. Loved following her blog. What a super sea horse you have created here. Hugs Mrs A.

Beautiful seahorse, love the colouring,
Not been to York since I was a child, as you say it was free to go in, but £16 that’s a lot of money. How times have changed

Lisa said...

I absolutely love this image and your amazing coloring. Oh yes, times have changed, so much has a cost to it any more that it can be tough to get out to do anything without having money saved up for the day out.

Another beautiful seahorse Kate and love the added foliage and sea urchines and pretty foliage and bubbles you have stamped in the background. So pleased you had a great time in York. It is a beautiful city and we finally visited it about five years ago...love The Shambles. x
