August Rudolph Days

Another month has flown by and it's time again for another Rudolph Days Challenge. I'm glad to say that I started making these cards with plenty of time to spare, as my mother had a fall and has had to go into hospital. If I had not already started these cards I doubt that they would have been made. I've used a new stamp from Pink Ink for my cards this month, the sentiment came from a set that I have in my cupboard but can't remember where I got them from.  I coloured the image using Colour Blend pencils from Spectrum Noir and then went around the edges with distress ink - Salty Ocean. I do hope that you have time to join in the fun over on the Rudolph Days Blog, there is always a lovely prize for the winner who is chosen at random.



 Another eight cards to add to my collection.


I hope that you are all keeping well and staying safe.
Thank you for taking the time to look and your kind commetns which are always appreciated.

Sue

Sorry to be so late visiting and commenting on your Rudoph cards, Sue. The design is so pretty! You know how much I love birds and I think your coloring has really made her come alive!

Thank you for sharing about the red kites over there. How exciting to have them come back! In our neighborhood, besides the hawks, we have white kites that are just thrilling to watch. They are so gorgeous to look at with binoculars with their piercing eyes and whitest white feathers!

I'm sorry to hear about your mom's fall and I hope she recovers soon. Keep well yourself! Hugs, Darnell
