Hand surgery

I am taking a little rest while I recover from hand surgery.  Unfortunately this means no crafting for a while.  There goes my attempt to make lots and lots of Christmas cards this year.

Thank You

This clean and simple handmade card is for the latest challenge over at the Outlawz.  I was thrilled when walking through CNA yesterday and came across this sentiment stamp.  Quite unique and different.

This card came together very quickly and I was happy with the result first time.  One of those rare moments.  I think I will use this design for some Christmas cards as well.

My blog has been a bit quiet since I gave cardmaking a rest while knitting some prem beanies for the Mowbray maternity hospital.

Rest and relaxation

Today's CAS challenge over at the Outlawz is to depict what your form of relaxation is.  Mine is reading and if it wasn't for this awful wind that is blowing Cape Town clean, I would be sitting on the balcony in my newly acquired rocking chair reading a book.

Missing you

This clean and simple handmade card was my contribution to the Sunday CAS over at the Outlawz.  I seem to be in a blue mode right now.

The chair is from the Hero Arts set CL480 and coloured with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

Cascading Flowers

This handmade Clean and Simple card was made for Sundays CAS over at the Outlawz and I am over the moon that it was 'featured'.

The image is from Penny Black and is called sun-caressed.  It was coloured with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

Birthday card

This card is for a sweet lady who celebrates her birthday on Thursday.  I thoroughly enjoyed colouring this image and putting it together.  I must admit I am happy with the outcome.

World card making day

Our RSA group decided to swap out cards for WCMD.  Each lady had to make two cards and post one each to the two names below yours.  It could be sent at anytime as long as it reached the recipients before WCMD.  Well heavens above! I posted mine 10 minutes before the post office closed and the next morning one of the recipients received it!

Images were coloured with Spectrum Noir and the skin with Copics.
