A crochet creation and CAS card

 Hello my lovelies,

I promised to share my latest crochet creation and here she is

 I even gave her a candy-corn. My granddaughter ran off with the candy corn but the little witch is sitting in our geocache waiting to be taken to her forever home.

I have also been doing quite a bit of card-making recently. I know there was a time when I would be posting on a regular basis but I lost myself for a while and I couldn't find me or my mojo. 

BUT

I'm starting to get back my mojo, it had just been buried quite deep.......SOOOO back to the importantly fun card-making/creating.

I have created this lovely little card for an interesting challenge

They have this intersting colour challenge at CAS Colour & Sketch and I can honestly say I probably wouldn't have put these 3 colours together myself and that's what makes it fun, so without further ado

And yes it's very simple and clean, maybe too simple. 

But it has presence and the cloloured hexagons  in this photo seems a lot darker than in real life, I'm going to have to check my camera setting.

So I used my S.U. hexagon punch, S.U. thin oval punch, white cardstock and Tuxedo black ink for the sentiment (which was free on a magazine and about 10yrs old)

Well I still have dozens of christmas cards to make so I will see you soon.

Seasons Greetings

So we are getting into the swing over at Fab'n'Funky challenges.............

 

Our challenge this fortnight is 

Seasons Greetings

So it can be Christmassy or Thanks giving-ish but it has 

to be obvious

 (but if you are feeling a little ghoulish....go for it)

 

I've gone with a winter scene

I used the centre of the stencil and white shimmer ink, once done I stamped inside the leaf to create my winter scene. I then used a white marker to add snow.

I wanted to stamp te sentiment in white butafter several practise tries on a scrap of card which kept smudging, I relented and just used a momento tuxedo black inkpad.

 

Since we are talking seasons greetings, Hubby and I went for a walk round our neighbourhood the other day and this was definitely the nicest example of the new season we came across

Such wonderful golden tones, really brings a smile when you can see what nature can do.

Hugs & Happy thoughts
