Sunshine Saturday

I'm not sure whether I've got the challenge wrong here, its for Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge for No Patterned paper which I haven't use but I have made my own. The cloud background is all my own work using a template, blue inkpad and a sponge.
To begin with I was only going to do the circle background of the paddling pool but I like it so much I did a whole background square.
The MS icicle punch is what I used for the grass and all the cute images are Belles and Whistles.

This is my template I used for clouds, I was with a class with the fab Jenny Mayes from Hobby Art and she had this stencil and since the company were no longer operating she let us draw round it. This was at least 6 to 7 years ago and there's a think layer on ink on this card probably why it doesn't fall apart.
It's an early start to Wales so I'm hoping Mr Blogger will forgive me for saying he wasn't my friend in the week when he hid my comments, fingers crossed.

Oh Debby this is fantastic honey - amazing depth and a fabulous little scene too. Love the sky - that reminds me I have that stencil (or something very similiar) somewhere. I'm going in to find it - if I disappear for a few days I'm lost in this craft room rofl.
