Woody Thanks

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend. On Saturday the choir I sing in performed a concert in Exeter Cathedral. It was a lovely setting, gorgeous acoustics and the concert went very well. We're a chamber choir of around twenty voices so with only four or five voices per part there's no resting on your laurels!!

But on Sunday my recurring neck problem reared it's ugly (and very painful!) head and I spent most of the day drugged up in bed and sadly had to miss a big family party. The only upside was that I managed to make a few cards in the evening!

This one is for last week's CAS challenge on Splitcoast - to make a card using Green and Brown. Not my normal go-to colours but I quite like it...





Recipe:

Stamps - Hero Arts
Ink - Colorbox chalk
Card - Dark Chocolate/ New Leaf (PTI)
Other - New lead button/Spellbinders Circle Nestabilites and Tag Die

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi Kate,

firstly what a surprisingly good colour combo, and second love how you used a scalloped circle card, perfect for framing that lovely stamp and third hope your feeling much better- that sounded like a really nasty neck problem.

Love Kim

Hi Kate

Hope your neck is better ! I am mid way through a second batch of physio on mine, I know that horrible feeling in your head - terrible ! All the time I am screaming to myself STRETCHES - POSTURE ! !

Anyway, this is gorgeous Kate, just beautiful.

Exeter Cathedral! Sigh. Wish I lived near you....

Hope your neck feels better. At least it didn't interfere with your stampin' mojo. Your card is WONDERFUL!

Aimes said...

Oh now I'm thinking that you should have been the Guest Designer for this CAS challenge, or at least have let me nabbed this card for my entry ;D
Hope your in less pain today hun!
Love,
Aimes
