Well, what a great welcome home - rain! Mind you, I SHOULDN'T be surprised since it IS a Bank Holiday weekend and the one earlier in the month was glorious so ..... methinks it must be a "stay in and craft" day!

Cracked the seal on a recent acquisition (the Art Impressions get well set) and here's an ATC I made using it on kraft card. I don't do this often enough which is such a shame as coloured pencils work so beautifully on kraft card - hope you agree

Welcome home! It's a shame the glorious weather didn't last for a few more days here.
Brilliant ATC Kathy, what a fabulous image! So beautifully coloured too. I love the simplicity of your card, perfect for a Thinking of You card. xx

Two fun cards and very different. Thanks for sharing at Less is More!
I love the simplicity of the leaf card you linked up to The House That Stamps Built! So pretty!
Two fabulous projects! I love the elegance of your "thinking of you" card. I agree; simplicity does seem best for these type of cards. Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
very nice, not the funniest od cards to make, but I believe it's best to make some when you don;t need them as at that time you may not feel like it at all, it's good to have some on hand, even if you give them away. love the monochrome look
great card and ATC Kathy,
Lilian

Great choice of stamps for your one layer. This leaf is so gorgeous and just perfect for a thinking of you theme. I love the monochromatic colors and all the white space. Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!
