Tropical Paradise (Maureen W) AUST

Morning all

It's Saturday don't know where the week has gone. Its a lovely day not to hot thank heavens.

Have not been on blogger lately, thought I have my I pad back by now, its suppose to be delivered Monday. Let's hope so.

On Wednesday morning and Thursday I was working on an order for three cards for a boy, girl and a female.

I started this layout on Thursday afternoon did the water colour base and put together everything I wanted to use on the page. What I had done is water coloured the page in blue and darker blue for the clouds. Our granddaughter was down yesterday and I said what do you think. Well grandma she said you got no depth to distinguish the water from the clouds. Let me see if I can fix it for you. So out come the water colours and this is what it ended up like an hour later.

I do hope you like it she had done a really good job she is only 13 and can paint far better than I can and loves to let loose with the water colour paints.

I am entering this into "Sketches in Thyme" week 3 sketch challenge.

Sitting here someone as put there wood burner fire on as  I can smell the wood burning such a lovely smell feels like you need a pot of soup or hot chocolate
