Inkspirational Challenge #24 - Photo

Hi there and welcome! My DT post for the current challenge at Inkspirational is quite late. My internet now seems to have a mind of its own so lets try this morning.

What a beautiful winters day it is today. Halfway through the first month of winter and you would think it is spring here at the moment. We had a crazy flash storm last night (but that always happens in the tropics) and this morning, the birds are in full song the sun is shining and there is only a slight breeze. Perfect!

This week we have a photo challenge for you -

The photo actually reminds me of our storm last night. I'm not too far from the water where I live (well, I guess that isn't too hard living on an island lol). But, I can see the water from my house.

Here is my DT card -

I had to use one of my favourites - The Open Sea (SU). I just layered a few of the stamps to make my own panel and then used hemp twine for texture.
