A 'beach' of a day....

Wow, what a fabulous day it's been here in Wiltshire......hope it's been the same wherever you are.
Because Alan had a day off, and the weather was so good we packed up the car with all Finn's bits and bobs, chucked Finn in the back and headed off to the beach. Our nearest decent beach is about an hour away, down the Somerset coast, and of course we have to find one which allows dogs too....we ended up in Berrow, a fantastically very long, almost deserted beach . We walked for about 4 miles, with lunch inbetween, altogether a smashing day......Finn loved the beach, but as he's still classed as a puppy (1 year old) we had to stop eventually, as he soon tired.  (Isn't he gorgeous? )

Anyway, no crafting done today, so I'm just showing a couple more of my 'simple' cards from last week, still using Tim Holtz distress inks.........(sorry)
 
This Spellbinder die is very effective but not good to cut, even on my Bigshot Pro, so it doesn't come out very often. I've used distress inks again, on photo paper, then stamped and heat embossed with Cosmic Shimmer black embossing powder. The 'tree' is from Stampin' Up........







This card was an experiment. Just inked and masked, then stamped with my 'Aussie' stamps. Haven't made my mind up about it yet, but it was interesting to do.
Thank you for looking. I do hope you'll leave a comment, either good or bad, I don't mind.
Until tomorrow........
