We returned today from a few days in our caravan in North Devon and we had some rain! Not just a light shower, but a couple of heavy downpours. After all the hot weather we've had recently, I've never enjoyed walking in the rain so much! 🤣
Last Saturday we went a barbecue. The men cooked all the meat and the ladies provided all the salads and homemade desserts.... for all 55 of us! It was a fabulous evening and I made this card to thank the hosts for holding it in their garden.
I used dies from the Sue Wilson 'King of the Grill' with black, yellow and silver snippets, adding a little red ink to the flames. A Cuttlebug 'Diamond Plate' embossing folder was used for the embossed panel. It's at least ten years old and I can't remember the last time I used it, so it deserved to have an outing. The sentiment is a stamp from the Happy Little Stampers 'Whimsical Friends' set, using Versafine Clair 'Nocturne'. Three small black pearls finished off my card. Everything, apart from the card base, was snippets so I'll be sharing my card over in the Snippets Playground.
I am joining in the following challenges:
We had a little downpour yesterday and it was lovely to stand out in the cool air, soon warmed up though! Perfect summery card.

What a fabulous thank you card! That’s a lovely die and the red tips on the flames adds drama perfectly. We enjoyed a lovely holiday in Arlington North Devon and hope to return. I wish we’d had that rain, we had a light sprinkle and it was still worth a dance! xxx
