Well I managed to find time to make a card to-day after an acute case of Lazyitus. I went into the loft space this morning to put the luggage away and came across a box of paper napkins from years back and found some all ready to put on to cards. When I first started cardmaking about five years ago most of my cards were made with either decoupage or napkins. I started by putting the narrow sticky tape along the edges and gave it a scattering of Cosmic Shimmer vintage mica flakes. I used the SB Enchanted labels 28 for the large die cut and then cut the napkin (adhered to the card with clingfilm) using the SB Gold labels 4. The sentiment is from Inkylicious and the silk crush ribbon from the Ribbon Girl. Hopefully now I can get my Mojo in gear again. Thankyou all for the lovely comments left on my last post and I can assure you they were much appreciated.
I'm adding on to this post a couple of watecolour pictures by Molly and Hamish. Molly went to a class after school and this was what she produced, a pink porker. She is only 10 year old and just loves painting. Hamish has done an abstract painting, but never went to a class. Definately did not take it from me, but their mother was always good at drawing and painting.
Thanks for Looking. Hugs Rita xxxx

Great card Rita - it doesn't look like your mojo has wandered too far judging by this. Love those pieces of art by Molly and Hamish too. You must be incredibly proud of them. Hugs, Jenny x

There is nothing wrong with your Mojo - this is so beautiful, so very elegant.
As for those talented children, so glad you shared their artwork on your Blog so we can all appreciate their creations. Astounded that they are creating such paintings at such a tender age.
I agree with Jenny, you must be incredibly proud of them both.

Love your beautiful card Rita, you have a real knack of layering and adding fabulous elements and your focal image is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the wok of those amazing artists Molly and Hamish, both styles are so different and wonderfully pleasing to look at.

your card is absolutely gorgeous!
So how did I manage to miss this one..... All is explained re the napkins lol, (well kind of, still looking forward to hear more details). I totally and utterly adore this card, it is sooooo pretty!! And your grand children, - what can I say, they are both artists in the making that's for sure! Love the pig, amazing for a 10 year old (well any age really, those shadows to give it the 3D feel, wow!), but I totally love the abstract too, so much drama in the design, a real eye catcher!! Wow, so much talent in one family!!!
Pretty card made with the lucky find in the attic - proves you should not throw anything out!! Lovely to see the work of Molly and Hamish too - great.
Rita. Your cards is beautiful. And those works of art are just fab, very talented children.

I've never worked with napkins but your card looks amazing. I can't paint or draw but my daughter can. The artwork looks great to me. :-)
I love your style of lazyitus. Your card is delightful and pleasing to the eye.

Good morning Rita,

Absolutely stunning "works of art" from 3 very talented people.
Your card is amazing, off to have a look at what napkins are lingering in the drawers
Have a Great Day

So great to see how your card making is changing in time... The paintings are beautiful! Hugs, Gerrina
The card is absolutely lovely - the napkin image makes a great centrepiece... And I'm blown away by Molly and Hamish's work - that pig is astoundingly good! Sorry to be behind - my internet's been playing up, so I'm sitting in Caffe Nero trying to do some catching up... have a great weekend!
