Morning readers,
Hope you all had a great weekend, get up to much? We actually visited our fave curry house again, bless them, they have all the Covid compliant malarkey to make you feel comfortable as well as great food! Can't fault it.
I've spent some time at the ToC (that's Table of Craftiness) lately and have a couple of makes to share with you ... the first being this card, deploying a very elderly wood mounted image from Hero Arts - 'bout time it saw some love ... and ink!

The HA silhouette image looks great with that bit of background inking and dotty stencilling Kathy and another cute and quirky ATC with that beautifully colour SA bird, and more interesting background stencilling and a fun sentiment to finish it. That's a wonderful bit of open space as part of a housing estate. We are lucky to have a few open spaces which were included as part of the development where we live too. x
That's a lovely floral image, love how you've popped it in the corner with some soft inking and stencilling to highlight it, love those crazy birds too! Thankyou for playing along at Watercooler Wednesday, Cathy x
Hi Kathy, I love the term "ToC" :D Both the cards are just gorgeous. The ATC is very cute and love the coloring. Thank you for playing along with us. Looking forward to many more!
Stay safe, Kinjal - DT Penny's Paper crafty challenge

Gorgeous work Kathy - love them so much! You're always so imaginative and produce super results.I grinned at your photo - thought you were just down the road from us with the middle of housing estate photo! I love it when they do think to include green areas.

Great Cards! I like these silhouette motifs. Thanks for joining us at S+F=C.
Two amazing creations, Kathy. I'm especially loving the CAS card you shared and the matching envelope is so pretty too! But a wonderful ATC just the same with the pretty colors and fun image!
