This week Casual Friday Have a Movie inspired card challenge on their blog here,sponsered by Simon Says. So I began to wrack my brains for a suitable movie theme, then inspiration struck in the form of a text from my daughter who was on a field trip in Spain for her Geography degree recently.
The message read
This really made me giggle as she had gone out and bought a pair of Wellies with a fancy pattern on, when she had a perfectly good serviceable plain green pair that would have done!
So I wanted to send her a card to make her smile and the Wallace and Gromit Movies came to mind, and the adorable little sheep, as you can see from this film clip here
I remembered that I had a stamp of a sheep in wellies...perfect!
So I printed a sentiment on my computer and stamped the image to make this card.
I have used Penny Black's 'Plimsoll Pete' 3109F and colourd with alcohol markers.
I hope this made you smile, it certainly did me and I await the reaction of my Daughter when she receives it in the post!
Hugs Cathy

I just got the biggest smile from this, Cathy! Too funny! And I cannot believe that you had a stamp that coordinated so perfectly with your conversation!
Your DD will get a good chuckle from this as well :)
LOVE the story behind your card, Sista!! Certainly DID make me smile BIG!! Hugs!
This is a real treat - doesn't it just make you think again about using the stash you have too? I have been so impressed by the range of PB stamps & this just proves that there's something for every eventuality. I like the way you finished the card off with the embossed border too. I'm learning much from seeing your CAS cards.

Love your story behind your card! I'm sure your daughter will love the card! I have never heard rubber boots called wellies before and love the name, think I will have to start using it! TFS!
