We did our first park run yesterday - we did come last - and it took 52 minutes for the girls to run/walk the 5 km - but it was hilly and they actually did very well - I am very proud of them!!
Today I want to share my makes for this fortnights christmas card club - I have done three replicate cards using clarity stencils and stamps.
I placed the bauble stencil on card then created the scene using clarity brushes and torn card and a moon mask. Next I added the tree stamp and finally the santa sleigh.
I traced around the stencil with a fine liner and added paint dots to the sky. I also used the sharpie pen around the outside of the topper. Finally I mounted them onto card.
I do like the way the tree line stamp has worked!
I hope you have a wonderful day - we're off to visit mum and dad again! Here's hoping its a good visit! Should be!
Big hugs to you!

So happy to hear that your Dad is doing ok, and that your tired Mom got a bit of time to herself, with wonderful news (at least I hope the weight loss was good news!) Also very pleased to hear the girls had a good hike...whether their time was as great as expected, at least they were out in fresh air, getting exercise, being together as a family, and having a fun time. Your sleigh scene looks so pretty the way you've done it with the stencil scene. I really like the shape of the ornament encasing this festive winterscape. Very imaginative designing, and so very lovely. Hope your week will go well. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteWell done to your Mum and the girls on the run-great cards -love the scene in the bauble shape

Well done to your Mum - nothing like a heap of stress to help with the weight loss - but that's your silver lining for you... I hope there'll be less stress soon, but continued weight loss! And congrats to the girls on the run too.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards - that bauble shape is really elegant, just right for the delicate stamping.
