Timepiece

Sunday's CAS over at the Outlawz has a theme of 'Timepiece' that I chose.  Yes, a tad early but hubby and I are going out for the evening and rather now than too tired later.  That, will definitely be a disaster.

This is what I came up with:

Primary colours of red, yellow and blue

Today's challenge at the Outlawz is to use the primary colours of red, yellow and blue.  They are all so bright and beautiful.

On this card I used the top 3 lines of a script stamp and coloured them individually with embossing pens.

Pull-out card that was destroyed while in-transit

I signed up for a pull-out or popup card swap recently and the due date is today.  I spent hours and hours on 11 of these cards and was very happy with the results,  posted off the cards 5th July and when it failed to arrive at its destination, I contacted the post office who informed me the truck delivering the parcel was involved in a serious accident and ALL the parcels were damaged as in DESTROYED.

I am totally gutted as Hayley so aptly put it although I used stronger words 😃

At least I took some pictures.

Fussy Cutting a dry embossed 'image'

Something I've never tried before is fussy cutting a section out of a dry-embossed 'image'. It took a little while to fussy cut and especially since I was too lazy to fetch my specs... 
Although I  am not  able to win any prizes, I entered this in the Monday's greeting card challenge at the Outlawz.

Anjas Squares Die Cut

Another card using the cut and emboss Anjas Squares Die cut and emboss set.  Isn't it just gorgeous?  I can't get enough of it.  I love a pink and green combo.

Hand knitted baby cardigans

Two hand knitted cardigans for a colleague of my sister-in-law.  I bring out the old knitting needles about once a year and normally for baby jerseys.  I was an avid knitter up until my daughter was born 17 years ago.  Hers was the last knitting I did until I hung up the needles to haul the out every now and again.  Those years ago it was adult jerseys, aran, fairisle, motives, anything goes.  Now....

One layer card challenge over at the Outlawz today

This one layer card is made using a stencil.  I adhered the stencil onto the cardstock with sprayable adhesive and used brushes and sponges to colour the image with acrylic paint and stamp pads.
