Ack I'm struggling with my mojo at the minute :( Lots of stress and then the hooha over the EU Referendum, and now our boys are out of the footie. Boo.This sympathy card is effort #3, 1&2 are in the bin! I had a picture in my head of what it should look like and it took a while to get anywhere near it. It's based on Tracey's beautiful card over at the Muse challenge. I used these flowers from Simon Says Stamp - coloured with watercolour pencils and some Spectrum Noir clear sparkle added. I found this text BG stamp so it HAD to be used (I've been looking for it for months LOL) I also added some white enamel dots and bit of bling.
- Muse challenge #171
- Crafty Creations #318 - anything goes
- Pink floral theme from Allsorts #369
- Penny Black and More June - flower power
My second card uses this old Snoopy stamp that I bought back in 2010. Coloured with watercolour pencils, Spectrum Noir sparkle added to his flying hat and scarf, and clear gloss to his goggles and the dog house roof. Background spritzed with shimmer.
- Addicted to CAS #91 - fly (I'm hoping my imaginary airplane counts LOL)
- Sweet Stampin - seeing stars
- Retro Rubber #41 - red, white and blue
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - add some shimmer
- Crafty Cardmakers #166 - for a special man
name in future cards though rather than just print it.

Lynne both those cards are utterly fabulous, but your wee snoopy has stolen my heart! Utterly fabulous card and with those fabby star sequins, perfect for our 'Stars' challenge at Sweet Stampin' this week. Thanks for joining in the fun with us this week. We look forward to you playing along with us again. Hugs, Wends x Sweet Stampin' DT
Great cards as usual Lynne - I really like the Snoopy one - funny though as I also resurrected a really old Snoopy stamp this week to make a congrats card for someone who is just about to graduate as a doctor. I actually have a Snoopy in an aeroplane and one in a car that I use for 'Passed your test' cards.
I'm all at sixes and sevens too! Great cards, Lynne. I love your sweet Snoopy and you'll never guess which original handmade stamp I have sitting on my desk right now! Jo x
Hello Lynne: I'm in love with your Snoopy card, the Peanuts characters are some of my most favorite cartoons of all time.
Beautifully colored, I specially love the sparkle on Snoopy's hat and scarf.
Love the flower card too, looks to me like your MOJO came back, it's gorgeous.
Thank you for playing along with us at Retro Rubber, hope you come back and play again soon.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.

That background stamp was the perfect addition to the lovely pink flowers, Lynne. I know what you mean about the recycle bin. Mine was in there a couple of times but I resurrected it. The Snoopy card is so cute and I love the striped edge.
An adorable Snoopy! Love the coloring. Thanks so much for including Retro Rubber in your stamping fun. Seems mojo is returning... :)
Three fabulous creations Lynne. I love your sympathy card, it hits just the right note.
The snoopy card you entered into my challenge is so cute. Thanks for sharing it with us
Can you tell me please which background stamp did you use on the sympathy card??

Love both your cards! Would have never thought that you are struggeling with your mojo at the moment ;o) Happy crafting, Maike
I may need that flower set, based on your card - gorgeous! So glad you joined us at Muse this week!
Both cards are so great! The floral is delicate with the faint word background and I have always liked that stamp set. Snoopy and the invisible airplane is adorable. How can anyone resist Snoopy?
Such pretty card. The flowers on your first card with the lovely background perfect for a sympathy card and of course snoopy! Thank you so much for sharing with us at Muse this week!
Very pretty cards, and the Snoopy card? Just love him and the way you have interpreted the challenges. I just visited the EU (Germany last week, before the vote), it is reverberating around the globe. So glad that you played along with us at Retro Rubber Blog Challenge.
Great cards, I LOL at the Snoopy one, so awesome and the colour palette fits our challenge perfectly. Thanks for playing over at Retro Rubber this time. Cx DT
Nice card, anyone who you send this card to will love Snoopy. Thanks for joining Retro Rubber's red, white and blue challenge.
All your cards are wonderful...however, Snoopy is my Fav!
Thanks for joining us at ATCAS.
No evidence of a sluggish mojo here!! These are just beautiful!! I love your coloring on both and especially how Snoopy's house sort of looks like it is in the clouds! Brilliant friend : )
