A Simple Card

 When you can't think of a theme for a male card - keep it simple!  Created in Craft Artist.

Man's Birthday Card

 Another card made in September - created in Craft Artist

Painted Roses Birthday Card

 I am going to try and post a few bits that I have made between my posting in July and the one yesterday.  This was a hand=painted card I did for a family member.

Simple one stroke painting on black card.

Gosh - has it been that long? Plus 30th Wedding Anniversary Card

 Me bad - I haven't blogged in ages - OK - I haven't don a lot, due to my failing eyesight, but am hoping that this might be rectified this week when I have laser treatment on one of my eyes.   Time will tell.

This is my most recent effort a card requested by a friend for his wife on the occasion of their Pearl Anniversary.

Obviously with my eyesight these days I kept it fairly simple, and in fact raided some of my stash of ribbons and pearls etc that I rarely use these days.   The little  topper was hand-painted by me, and fetured flowers what were in his wife's wedding bouqet.   He was delighted with it - so hope his wife is too!
To make it a bit more special - I made a box to put the card in.

Another Wedding Anniversary Card

 Another stamped image from my stash.  Coloured with Pentel duo colour purple pen, and overpainted with purple Artistry inks.  Corner decoration done with same pen as flower.

Wedding Anniversary Card

 

 

A stamped card this time - from my stash, coloured with a Pentel dua metallic red/gold pen and then water-coloured with some watered down Artistry ink.  Background dusted lightly with Craft Artist mica colour in blue.  Outline then drawn with same pen as used win the flower.

Male Birthday Card

 

Men's card can be so difficult - kept this one simple.   Designed in Craft Artist (CAP2).

Die-cut Birthday Card

 A simple die-cut card.   Image cut into the card and then back with some orange paper.   Die is for Clarity Stamp.

Have you missed me? Sorry.

 Apologies for being awol - not been up to par recently - I have dabbled with a few things that are still work in progress.   My eyes have been giving me a lot of trouble, and I struggle to see things sometimes.  I am ok outside in the sunshine, but when it is overcast I struggle.  Consquently I haven't felt up to crafting.
I have made a bit of an effort this week, and made some cards, which I will share over the next few days.

This is the first one.  Created in Craft Artist (CAP2).  Card for a train and gnome enthusiast.

Ceramic Mandala

 Another craft ticked off my "crafts to try" bucket list.   A little mosaic mandala coaster, although I opted for the alternative of a hanging plaque.  (Hope you can see the navy ribbon hanger).   I will back the mdf with some paper or paint one of my roses on it.
