Hi Everyone
Apologies for my absence (again) .. .. .. it has been a very hectic week here in the House of Hearts, but sadly not on the crafting front .. .. .. life had different plans for my time as Mum hasn't been too good.
Hopefully things will improve this coming week and I can open my craft pod door a little bit more often. But if not then it just wasn't meant to be.
I did have a very quick attempt at a digitally created Christmas card though and it ended up looking like this:
This used:
Image Backing: LOTV: Watercolour Circles
Christmas Tree: Fantastic Clipart: Christmas Tree Clipart
Sentiment: Computer Generated using font "Impact Label"
Backing Paper: The Lovely Studio (sadly it still looks like this is another on-line store that has closed)
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Quite pleased with it really.
So short and sweet from me today as I try to catch up with the world and get back on top of things.
Take care everyone.
Very effective card Jules love the background you've created and your clipart makes a brilliant Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteHope Mum feels better soon.

Oh sorry to hear your Mum is not well Jules. I hope she improves soon. Your card is lovely. I have these watercolour circles, but I always tend to look at my stamps first and forget about all the digs on the computer.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card....lovely how you've combined digital effects with your trademark stitching. Hope Mum is feeling better this week
ReplyDeleteYour craft room will always be there and our parents won't so there is no contest, but we all know how we wish there was time for both. Love your card, thanks for the links to the digi files you used. The watercolour background is gorgeous. Perhaps you shouldn't own up to it being a digi! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Jules, just popping in to catch up with you and your beautiful cards. It was lovely to hear your family had all managed to get together after such a long time but so sorry your mum isn't very well this week - hope she makes a speedy recovery. Take care. Hugs, Elizabeth xx
