Gilded Watercolour Tissue technique + Annie's Smiles

Hullo there everyone .. another Friday here in Oz is drawing rapidly to close, so better do my Friday post to link up with Annie's Friday Smiles..
Okay, some of these are borrowed - again!!!
First of all a card to share ... 
 This card is another gilded tissue watercolour method, technique on posts here and here .. linking this one up to CAS watercolour challenge!
Dies (Memory Box Pippi + Swirl) + Stamping (SU) + Tissue .
 Now to my Fridays Smiles. Firstly some Aussie shots .. the first one is from a friend in SA - she posted it on FB today and said it's ok to share. 
It is at Pewsey Vale, SA.
THIS brings a smile - my first flower on the Phaelenopsis dear nephew gave me at Christmas, with many more buds on the way! God's creation is amazing. Lovely winter sunshine today on my walk to our beach.. lifesaver's sign at flags said water temp was 19c, not bad eh?? Gulls and Terns enjoying it too.
 Sunset a few weeks ago down at the jetty ...
Now to some borrowed funnies.. from FB too.

A BAD VIRUS is going around called Housework. 
If you feel the need to start housework, stop immediately. This virus wipes out your social life and "me time". 
If you should come in contact with housework go straight to the nearest shop & buy the only known antidote which is called CHOCOLATE. 
Please forward this warning to your friends immediately. They may be infected already!!!
  
Thanks so much every one for popping over for a peek and chat! 
May God bless your day wherever you may be. 
  Will do my very best in commenting, and truly appreciate your visits more than words can say.

    It looks like we are both enjoying our orchids at the mo. Mine are stunning at the mo and there is so much promise on the two that flowered last year....lots and lots of buds to open out on both. Nature really is wonderful isn't it?
    Hugs,

    Gorgeous Orchid, lovely colour. Loving the photos too and the FB funny is so true. Unfortunately I fear the housework virus may attack us this weekend but I shall try and fight it as much as possible!
    Have a great weekend, Angela xXx

    More orchids! And stunning they are too. Such lively color!
    I love the photos of the beach. Lucky you. I wish the beaches here were that empty. I would probably go to the beach then. Beaches here are associated with crowds of smelly, swearing people.
    The funnies made me smile. Yes, the housework virus affects me some times (but not much...)
    Greetings from sunny Spain,
    Blessings

    Love the pastel colours used for your tissue paper back ground. The gold accents really add to the texture too. Beautiful card Shaz.

    Good morning Shaz. Your photos are stunning and so is your card. The beach photos looks so serene and calm. The orchid is just beautiful. I enjoyed your funnies this morning. Especially the housework and chocolate. Chocolate is my antidote for everything! Wishing you a very blessed weekend my sweet friend. Blessings,
    Betsy

    Another lovely orchid. I have just been admiring Annie's. They are indeed one of God's most perfect creations.
    I love you empty beach, being enjoyed by just the sea-birds. I wouldn't mind 19ยบ for a day or two here.
    Your card is very lovely as is your friends photo. Such lovely rich colours in both.
    Unfortunately, as I am now diabetic I have to find a new antidote, as chocolate is out of bounds! But I still have a tiny bit now and then, when I really 'need' it. Kate x

    The gold against that watercolored background is just amazing, gorgeous look!!
    Fabulous pictures, what a wonderful place to be able to take your walks, it has been just so HOT here that I haven't gone out for my walks in a week, I am going to be out of shape when I get back to it. The flower is just beautiful, it is such a wonderful blessing that God decided to make all kinds of flowers for us to enjoy :)
    Have a wonderful weekend!

    What gorgeous scenery you live in. So much inspiration every day from nature. I love your card. That bit of gold on the tissue is beautiful and the colors used blend so well. I am going to take the virus threat seriously and will certainly spread the word so no one gets caught up in it.

    Your card is stunning Shaz - love the gold die cuts!
    The orchid is beautiful - I was given a white one when DH dies, and it is still flowering almost three months later! God is such a fantastic artist!
    Love your scenic photos, and the two funnies.
    Blessings
