Thankful












Welcome to all followers and visitors, many thanks for visiting and continuing to leave comments I really appreciate the time you take to do this.

 Today at Make My Monday ,Sue has chosen the theme "Thankful" for our challenge.


  As our American friends celebrate Thanksgiving in November I chose an Autumnal theme, an image of a leaf fussy cut and embossed with clear embossing powder to bring out the beautiful colours teamed with a sentiment from TLC. Another CAS card. Sorry about the poor quality of the photo sadly the light was awful and the rich colours look washed out.

As we live in an area of relatively low restrictions we were able to meet our sons in Aberdeen for a meal out on Saturday, I hadn't seen them for several months so it was a really special day out.


 Pop over to the Challenge Blog for some inspiration and see the fabulous makes there.

Hubby has had a few more children on the School bus in the last few weeks so I had to make some quick cards. Image free download from Simply Cards , sentiment from Tlc. Christmas hats coloured with Promarkers fluffy stuff  and some glitter to finish. Apologies, I had this image in my Simply Papercrafts folder but it actually came free from http://internitka.blogspot.com/2015/11/blog-post_8.html

Festive Foliage


 


A simple Christmas card using  a combination of stamp and digital images from Power Poppy, coloured with Promarkers and matted onto paper from Bearly Mine and white card base.

I  say simple but this was my third attempt to line up the stamp with the digital images which I had masked with Masking fluid. I do like the finished card , if it hadn't been for my stamping platform and the masking fluid I would never have managed it though.

Thank you for popping in today I appreciate your time and would love it if you left a comment.
