Christmas went by in a bit of a blur here, we spent Christmas day with son and daughter, their partners and all my gorgeous granddaughters, such a happy day. Unfortunately I was still experiencing lingering effects of the Covid- no energy at all and no appetite! At least I didn't put on any weight, so every cloud. Beginning to have a bit more energy, thank goodness....but still no appetite yet.
This card is for our new challenge at Sweet Stampin', the theme for this fortnight is 'New', my 'new' is the stamp (Gothic Fairy -The Card Hut). I coloured the fairy with my markers added some stencilling and a stamped sentiment.
While I'm here I'd like to say a big thank you for all the beautiful Christmas cards I received, I'm not sure if I've thanked everyone personally, as I said I was living in a bit of a blur.... but I love them all and they were very much admired by friends and family.
Please check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the Sweeties over at the Sweet Stampin' - we'd love to have you join us for our first challenge of the new year.
Thanks for visiting
I'll be back later today with another DT make.

Hi Chris, I bet you're wondering who I am!! I am very sorry for not having been here to comment on all your wonderful cards for so very long - but a New Year a new me, I'm determined to do better!
This is a fabulous card and I've got that image, yet to colour it - but got it I have. It was meant for TTT's birthday but I got distracted by a different one. You've coloured it wonderfully - love your colour choice - and the whole Clean and Simple card is fabulous!
Hope you are fully recovered soon and I wish I'd managed to avoid the old weight going up over Christmas!!
Best wishes for a fabulous 2024!

Fabulous, magical card, Chris.
Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell. I hope you’ll soon be fully recovered. xx
I'm so sorry to hear that you're battling with your health. I once popped out a disk in my back on Christmas eve. I was in excruciating pain on Christmas day, and the day only got worse. One of our guests fell down the stairs and broke her leg! There wasn't much celebrating going on in our house after that!
Your image is gorgeous and you've masterfully filled your empty spaces, to produce a perfect clean and simple card. Thanks for sharing this with us at Passion for Markers!

A wonderful magical card, Chris. Love the fairy! Glad you got to spend the holidays with your kids and grandkids but sorry to hear you were sick. Our family also dealt with Covid during Christmas. Never a good time to be sick but it surely was annoying to be sick during the holidays!!
Thanks so much for playing along with us at I spy with my little eye!
I unfortunately did put on some weight lol but enjoyed every minute of it. Now having to work hard to get it off again!! I hope your energy levels come back soon. It took me and hubby about a month and a half before we felt any change sadly. But back to normal now. I love your card. Not sure what she is thinking about though lol. What a lovely selection of cards you received!!
What a fab CAS card Chris. I love the funky image and your colouring is fantastic. Thanks for sharing with us at Passion for Markers challenge. Hugs, Denise x
p.s. hope you are feeling back to normal very soon x
