Hello 😀
Just catching up with some of my recent playtimes. I've been having fun and when I'm feeling creative it makes me reticent to 'break the spell' in order to blog...how sad is that?
Still using up some of my recent Ecoline backgrounds - in fact, I made these before I made the book I posted last week. They're just very simple, plain but colourful backgrounds, featuring those gorgeous Janet Klein images. I love these words and the images make me smile when I'm using them.
This is an Oxide background. It looks almost hazy compared to the one above but it isn't in real life.
This one was just a quick playtime with the stamp, which I love. Again, it's a simple Oxide background.
This is one of those cards we all dislike making, but it just has to be done. This one was for the sister of an ex-colleague.
And this one I've just finished. It's mainly acrylic paints, but with some Oxides thrown in for good measure 😉 It's another A5 length card, so quite tall, but this time a little wider. I've used a couple of stencils, too, then coloured the flowers with watercolour pencils. I don't use gold paint often these days but I love the effect when I do. I used it both for stencilling and for stamping.

I just bought that ostrich stamp so it is fun to see it! Ad I love those little folk too. They are very adorable. I get why you'd rather work than blog when the creative juices are flowing. I'm finding I am posting and writing comments more in the evening now while the TV is on. Gives me time to sit with hubby. Loving all the cards today and those colorful backgrounds made me slightly swoon. Happy JUly. Hugs-Erika
Stunning cards as always Cath. I particularly smiled at the Janet Klein cards as they are images I have been hankering after buying for a while. They make me smile too and I love the cards you made with them. As always you excel at backgrounds and you make the most beautiful cards as a result.
I love the cheeky Ostrich! He is fun and reminds me of one or two people as he noses his way in on that card.
Hugs, Neet xx
A post of contrasts Cath, from fun and funky to stylish and elegant, bright and bold to soft and subtle. It's difficult to choose a favourite but the last one with the sepia and aqua does speak to me and draw me back.
Lovely to see you at Allsorts again and with such a fun card, many thanks for joining in with our 'So Cute' theme this week.

Gorgeous artwork as always and your sympathy card is just perfect for the occasion. I have to have a few ready made as I find them so hard to make at a time when I need to use them myself. I've just finished work, so hope to be able to visit your lovely blog more often x
