Happy Birthday Di!
Lesley
It’s like someone pressed a switch from summer to autumn!
I think I may have blinked and missed summer to some extent…..just busy I guess.
So I’m popping by with a couple of autumn cards for men…
I stamped and inked the relaxing man and the tree, cutting them out to sit on the paper background.
I’m taking this to the Allsorts Challenge #797 “autumn colours.”
Here’s the second card with the other half of the embossed piece.
This is the border die set…
I’m taking this to the Inkspirational Challenge #324 “make your mark”,
I’ve coloured with inks using a brush, blending brush, and blending pen.
Hope it’s warm and dry where you are!

This one is based on the spotlight technique.
Stamped the flowers to cover the front, die cut a circle,
coloured it with blends, layered it up on some Lemon Lolly card.

I’ve liked some cards I’ve seen using black as the base, here’s the results.
Firstly I die cut the trees leaving the pieces intact, giving the solid pieces texture.
I added gold stars and die cut greeting .

Hi there, sorry but more Christmas cards again…
Here’s a pic of my snippets
And it would seem my creativity started early…..a cousin found this Kentish Times clipping of me at a craft event, when I was 6 years old! I do remember always drawing.
I was encouraged and inspired by artistic family members.
One of my cousins even holds art exhibitions of his paintings, way beyond my own expectations.
I collected the sweet “cigarette” cards, and often tried to draw the animals and birds.
I loved doing school projects that I could add illustrations to……happy days!
I have to take this homework over to the
Snippets Playground Challenge #488,
where there’s more fabulous prizes!
Do join the fun if you can, they’re a fabulous friendly group, often getting up to shenanigans in the treehouse, holding skipping sessions, or just playing on the swings.
Take care and see you soon
