Morning, Bloggers
I'm busy creating but it isn't leaving much time to blog, so because I don't want to post everything at once, I'll just upload a couple at a time. 

A couple of very simple Christmas birdie cards first... I used appliqué on the hats on this one and although I left it to dry naturally, when I was heating something else, they puffed up a bit. It looks much better done that way - not as much like polystyrene! 

...which I will link to:
Creatalicious, ATG, optional Winter
A Place to Start, Happy Holidays

I made this for a friend, who's going through a difficult time, using stamps inks, pencils and all kinds - one of those enjoyable little things that makes you smile as you're making it!
Thank you for calling in
Back soon
Cath

Once again, you have been incredibly busy. I had to enlarge the first card to understand what you meant by the applique on the hats. They turned out great. Of course, ALL your cards were great. Simply wonderful.

Morning Cath, i'm on catch up with a cuppa. This is becoming a thing haa haa!! Love the contrast of bird cards, traditional and modern, nice touch adding the fluffy bits to the hats. Your brave card speaks greatly to me, i've a few people around me that could do with a card just like that at the moment.
Such a caring thought xx
