Season's Greetings

Firstly, here’s a silver card for this week’s Less is More challenge – not brilliant cos the ‘o’ almost disappeared but it’s silver embossing on white – always so elegant. Unfortunately, silver’s a nightmare to scan, as I’m sure you know.
Sadly, it’s a Sympathy card and so is this.
Both very simple, but apt.
My daughter-in-law’s Dad died suddenly last weekend, while on holiday – horrendous.
Also made a super quick Birthday card earlier this week.
Colours (and stamps – Stampman) were based on one Vix sent to me a couple of years ago – it’s very simple but I love the feel of it and it was quick and easy to make.
My journal pages for September are finally finished and I can start to think about the October ones – I’m finding it really difficult to stamp or create anything at the moment :-(
This is the one I made but wasn’t happy with… I did start to Gesso/white paint over the crossword bit but couldn’t be bothered and knew I had another sheet of card I’d sprayed at the same time, so I used that one instead. It may well still surface in my own journal.
This is the one I’ve just finished – and I even got the date wrong!
Both bright and bold – not exactly how I’m feeling right now. The Zetti image looks more like the current me.
Room destashing is well under way now and I’ve already sold some stamps and stuff on Ebay – sorry I didn’t tell you and there was some Tim H stuff… more to come (TH that is) and LOTS of stamps, but I may just put it on the For Sale page instead of using Ebay.
Have a lovely weekend :=)

Unfortunately sympathy cards are a fact of life - and yours are beautiful and appropriate. Love the contrast of your bright journal pages.
fab journal pages and three very elegant cards. Sorry to hear about your DIL's dad. Hope you feel a bit more like creating very soon. I have been way too tired to create anything all week, but Rwanda was amazing!
Hola Cath, simply beautiful LIM card, perfect CAS card, your others cards are fantastic too.

Your Sympathy cards are appropriately delicate and unfussy, making the message stronger. They are simply beautiful. Your art journal pages are quite the opposite in style. very bold, brassy and colourful and equally creative. I know what you mean about not feeling like stamping or creating. It's left me temporarily. But it'll come back to both of us in time :) In the meantime, i'm loving your journal pages and see no lack in your flair. Pxx
