Couple of Christmas cards

I did manage to have some mojo return over the weekend and created a few Christmas cards to add to my slowly growing stash.  The prompting from Darnells weekly IDEAS theme - 'A' for Anything Goes, fits both my cards.

AND to help Jo celebrate 

100 Christmas Kickstart challenges,

CONGRATULATIONS --well done Jo

 I made this gold, red and white card featuring 'spots'

Stamped and gold embossed this Christmas Flourish stamp 'off the page', then decorated it with some punched sparkly red holly and finished with a gold embossed sentiment on a raised die cut circle.

Add the Design Element this month at Group of Seven Card Makers is --  Generation Stamping

Well I fluffed around for any ideas for a Christmas card... and trees seem to be the answer but living in Australia and having Christmas in Summer it funny making cards with snowy winter themes.

But this is my effort - masked the snow slopes and created a weird patchy sky. Next I stamped the large tree with Distress Ink and then with the mask in place stamped a row of generation trees for the horizon.

Finished with a gold embossed sentiment and a green matt edge.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, have an amazing day

 Hi !!!!
Now don't collapse with shock, yes I'm here --  all good, no health issues --  it just seems the arty farty part of my brain went walkabout...  maybe it was overcome with fresh air in the mornings I was out enjoying the weather and fiddling in my garden, and then too exhausted in the arvos and slouched off into the arm chair... you know as you get older you should slow down and do little bits at a time - that's what I tell my 95 y/o mum who still loves to potter in her garden. 

I'm not sure the arty mojo has found it's way home yet because I made this card early June

It's been 9 weeks since I joined Darnell with her inspiring IDEAS weekly prompt - this week it is 'E' for Embossing ... and this card just so happens to have an embossed background (from my stash) and some tulips I stamped and coloured with some long forgotten Distress Marker (that actually still work) - finished with a red card frame and die cut sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by my blog..

have a Wonderful Day

Cheers Robyn

Sitting in the armchair I still managed to finish a couple of crochet projects..
