Happy Everything


 It's time for a new challenge at Crafty Catz, the theme for this fortnight is
  AUTUMN COLOURS or ANYTHING GOES
chosen by lovely Ginny. We're playing just for fun this challenge- no prizes or sponsors.

I took the opportunity to use this sweet Mo Manning image, which I've coloured with my markers. the papers are from stash, mainly left over bits and pieces. I stamped the sentiment and added a few die cut leaves.

Still struggling with dodgy leg/hip, on stronger painkillers and an ice pack stuffed down my trousers gives a bit of relief! 

Please do take the time to visit the main challenge blog where you will find some fabulous inspiration from the rest of the team.

Thanks for visiting 

Have a good weekend

Chris

  3. A lovely autumnal make. So many great layers, I struggle to do this! Sorry you are still in pain. With the ice my chiropractor always says 20mins on and 20 mins off.

  6. Mo's images are lovely and made such a pretty Autumnal card Chris.

    Smiled about the ice, can relate.My physio's advise is always, "ice, then heat and repeat", does seem to work.

  10. This card radiates cozy autumn charm—the warm palette and layered textures feel like a crisp walk through fallen leaves. The Mo Manning image is so endearing, and your coloring brings it to life with such gentle depth. I love how the die-cut leaves echo the season without overwhelming the design. Hoping the ice and meds offer some relief soon—your creativity shines through even when you're not feeling your best.

  18. I love this image Chris and of course you have coloured her up beautifully. The papers are so great together with that layout. Crikey I hope you get better soon. I was the opposite and needed to be wrapped in heated blanket to get any ease.
