Hiya folks, I go AWOL for ages and now you can´t keep me away lol. It is fabulous being fit enough again to play in my craft room so I am taking advantage. Something different from me today, no bright colours, papers nor flowers - yeeks what´s happened to me! I have taken the plunge and tried my hand at CAS but not too sure I have managed that yet.
This card I have made for a friend who has just started chemo and radiotherapy bless her.

I was fortunate and won this Ferns and Butterflies Silhouette stamp by Crafty Individuals  on   Crafty Hazelnut´s Christmas Challenge, I stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black and matted onto black card. The verse/sentiment was already embossed on the card and is very appropriate I think.

You can use any digi to enter the challenge but if you use an image from the    Whoopsi Daisy Digi Shop you will win 2 sheets rather than 1 and let me tell you there are lots of beauties to be found there plus some freebies too.

I have used this girlie girl from sheet 389 and coloured her with my copics, isn´t she a cutie? I´m back to playing with my punches and this is my favourite corner punch ,both flowers have been punched and embossed and the brads are from Papermania and I think I got the wee flowers around image from the 100 peseta shop in Spain. Not sure whose backing papers they are as front page has come off the book, messy crafter I know! Ribbon is SU and sentiment from an old See D set.

1st Christmas card of the year

Good morning peeps I hope you are all well and not feeling the cold too much. Boy it´s bloomin freezing here, cold enough for fur lined knickers lol.  I am keeping cozy in my craft room and enjoying getting back into crafting at long last.

Today I have inked up "Willow with Lantern" and coloured her with my copics, such a pity she has lain here a few years without being used especially as she is so pretty and cute. I wonder who she´s looking for!

The papers are old ones too DCWV, Rose Tinted Christmas. Not a bad start to the New Year using up my old stash but method in my madness as there will be more room for the new stash I´ve just ordered. Sentiment was a freebie in a magazine and ribbon and pearls from Mei Flower.
