Hi Everyone, apologies for not being around, I haven't been on the 'puter, due to something happening that put me completely out of kilter, nothing serious, but it has thrown me completely, I've got no motivation at all. I hope I'll be able to get to visit you all, sooner rather than later.
At least I am being pushed into making cards for family members, but thinking of things to do is hard. Anyhow, I have a card today for my nephew. I cased a card from Hannelie and now can't find it. As you can see, it's very simplistic. I kept off the layers, as he and my niece live in Belgium, and thought of postage costs, being the meany I am!
I bought some stencils, a pack of 30, and they are really great, only 125mm in size, but for patches of stencilling just perfect. I stamped the car and made a mask, then using the stencils I blended the colours, removed the mask, stamped the sentiment, and it was done, so quick and easy, to get into the post double quick.

ReplyDeleteIt may be simple, but it is absolutely stunning Faith! Wonderful stenciling.
ReplyDelete- sorry to hear you have been 'off kilter', and hope you world returns to an even keel shortly.
I know what you mean about postage costs - I send bundles of cards to Australia from here - it's cheaper than sending them individually!

ReplyDeleteYou know I love a QACAS card, Faith, and these are my favorite colors, so this is a total winning design in my book! I'm sure your nephew will love it! On a personal note, I'm very sorry that you were blindsided by something that has your world off-kilter. Prayers and hugs coming your way that you are soon back to yourself. Darnell
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful CAS card Faith and I love the colour combination you used for the stencilling and the masked car free of colour stands out beautifully. Sorry to hear you have been having a tough time recently and hope you are feeling in better spirits soon. x
ReplyDeleteHope you get your mojo back soon, sorry something put you out of sorts. This is however, a brilliant design and a great use of the stencil.
ReplyDeleteFabulous mens card, the stencilling is brilliant. Emmax
ReplyDeleteHi Faith - I love this masculine birthday card which you male despite a lack of mojo.
ReplyDeleteSincerely hope your world gets back in shape soon xxx
I know exactly what you mean about things happening which send you off kilter Faith, and definitely recognise having time to craft but no motivation or mojo. But you have pulled a beauty out of the bag with this gorgeous card with that fab sports car (left uncoloured for a bit of edge!) and the soft fade-out stenciling. I take my hat off to you! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteSuper cool masculine card! Love the stenciling and the sports car!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great design--love this! Hoping you get back to feeling your old self soon.
ReplyDeleteFab design and wonderful color for your nephew's birthday! I'm sure he loved it! I hope things have improved for you! Take care, hugs!!
