A Desert Duet!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are well and enjoying your weekend. We were supposed to have rain today, but it's been sunny and warm, so I got a bit of gardening done, planted some French Lavender in a border. I just love lavender, but I was working around the bees who also love this plant. Thankfully I didn't get stung.

A fortnight has passed and it's time for the Christmas Card Club Challenge and this time the theme is Humour, here is what I've come up with;

Hobby Art's fabulous singing camels, I'm sure you all know them.

I started off with Watercolour card from Lavinia Stamps, and coloured the background with both Zig Clean pens and Elements ink. All the stamps are from Hobby Art, I stamped and cut out the sentiment, than added WoS and Stickles. Shame the sparkle doesn't show up all that well. I have to say I love these guys and pleased with how it's turned out.

Thank you for your lovely comments on my last post, as ever most appreciate.

I'm off to walk over to see Damian and Moreen who are off for a wee break and I'm looking after the cats. Milo and Rowan are going with them and it's the first holiday the dogs have been on, in fact it's the first time any of them have been on holiday since Damian and Moreen have been together and that's are 20 years. They are real home birds, so I'm delighted they are going away.

So enjoy the rest of your day, take care and I'll see you soon,

Oh, my gosh, Kate, I can't stop giggling over your card! How have I not seen this set and sediment before?! (Or am I round-the-bend, she asks, not remembering?) Regardless, it's a hoot! I'm glad you got a break from the rain and were able to plant a heather border without getting stung. And I'm also glad that Damian and Moreen have gone away after 20 years! I hope all went smoothly so maybe they will start leaving the homebird nest more often. I'll bet the dogs loved it! Hugs, Darnell

Oh my gosh this image is just fantastic. This is a fantastic fun Christmas card. If this were sent to me I think I would make it the featured Christmas card for the year. Big smile.
