Just popping in to add my card for Allsorts' Summer Fun/Sport challenge...
There are a lot of Summer challenges around, so I'm playing with some of these, too.

Just Add Ink, Just add the Season
Moo Mania & More, Summer holidays

I stamped the lovely ladies stamp, stamped again, cut out and masked before stamping the stone wall stamp...it looks a little bit (ahem) too high...but maybe they're feeling daring, lol. I then played around with the sky and a sun and rays stencil, which didn't work out the way I wanted it to, so I added more colour, ending with a sketchy, mixed sky and added the words over the sun 😊
Thank you for calling in today...

See you soon!

I hope this card means you are finally getting summer weather Cath. I like these vintage ladies in their bathing suits. It's hot enough here for them to go in for a swim. Great card, especially for July. Hugs-Erika

They look young enough to have managed to sit on that wall Cath. No bad backs like you and I there LOL.
Love the stamp you have used, what a fabulous array of young ladies and I always love my brick wall stamp but this one is so different, and great. Love the colour you used for it.
Well, if you had problems with the sky it certainly doesn't show. A fabulous card again Cath.
Hugs, Neet xx

This is fabulous Cath, they make me think of the sea wall at the coast though it would be far too high for me to sit on lol. Have a very happy week, Sue xx

Cath, first, thanks so much for the lovely sample make of this stamp for my files! haha Yes, I do have THIS 100 Proof Press stamp (if not the Splatter Circle one ugh ugh ugh) and your little scene here with the bathing beauties is lovely indeed. They are just mega risk-takers being up there so high, in order so that the boys will see them and come rescue them! haha XOX
