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.

I do love Hannelie's cards, so am always happy to see one of hers CASED. You have done a great job. It sounds like those stencils were a good buy. I shall look forward to seeing more of them. I love the black and white of the car against the coloured background. A brilliant CAS card. Sorry to hear you have had an upset. Hope you feel better soon xx

Great card Faith, I love the shaded stencilling - hope you are OK xx
It may be simple, but it is absolutely stunning Faith! Wonderful stenciling.
- 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!

Fabulous CAS card Faith and hope things improve soon lots of hugs xx
You 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
This 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
Hope 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.
Fabulous mens card, the stencilling is brilliant. Emmax
Hi Faith - I love this masculine birthday card which you male despite a lack of mojo.
Sincerely 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
Super cool masculine card! Love the stenciling and the sports car!
What a great design--love this! Hoping you get back to feeling your old self soon.
Fab 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!!
