No rain today.......

Can you believe we have actually gone a whole day with no rain !!, and by all accounts the weather is looking good for the rest of the week, perhaps summer has finally arrived in the UK !!

For this card I have used the lovely 'Country Ride' rubber stamp designed by Elisabeth Bell.  After colouring the image I have die cut the circle, then distressed before taking it out of the spellbinder, leaving a clear line .
