Saturday - woo hoo!

Morning readers,

Made it to another weekend and I hope you all have something nice planned this weekend.

My card .. bet you can't guess who it's for!!!

And a closer view of the grungey foiling

 

The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my card

Materials used:

• White C6/A2, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
• Two pieces of white card cut to fit
• One piece of red card, cut to mat
• Paper Artsy (ESN23) images stamped using Versafine satin red and Memento tuxedo black ink
• Paper Artsy splatter (HTPX01) stamped using Memento London fog, I used this ink to stamp the I LOVE YOU around the outer edge of the front of my envelope too, which may not show up too well in the small photo
• Using my WRMK "heatwave" tool I applied a kind of grungey foiling effect to the white sections of the heart, to make it a little more sumptuous

My card

And a closer view of the image panel

Materials used:

• Cream A2/C6, 300gsm card (tent fold) and matching sized envelope
• Two pieces of cream card cut to fit
• One piece of funky foam, cut slightly smaller than my card front
• Full coverage post it - to mask of my chosen shapes
• Distress Inks in mustard seed, fossilised amber and festive berries applied using a mini blender and sponge pad through a stencil from the recent free with magazine gift from Simply Cardmaking and Papercraft (top triangle only) for the bottom triangle I used a moist baby wipe to knock back colour
• WRMK banner die used to cut a small banner from a snippet of cream card
• CAS-ual Fridays sentiment (from WTF!) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
• CraftEmotions image (130501/1237 "Herbs and Branches") stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink ... such a lovely dark black
• To add some bling I scribbled diamond stickles to some of the "knocked back" circles and Anita's dimensional gloss to the blooms of my image

I mucked up the envelope so will have to make another at some point but .... I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

1. Simply Less Is More - challenge No. 387 - SKETCH - see below and loosely based on a design of my own, you can see the original here. it's the 2nd in post .. FYI, colour me DEEPLY flattered, THANK YOU
2. CAS On Friday - challenge No. 149 - FLOWERS
3. Penny's Paper Crafty - challenge No. 143 - ANYTHING GOES

Who doesn't love new stash? I love the excitement of receiving a parcel of goodies though, if I'm honest, I was a little disappointed with the large size of the fab sentiment stamp .... it's really only ever going to be a DL card ... but FAB!

My sale goodies - Jan 2019. Paper Artsy ESN23 and ZA22 + Woodware FRS341

And I already inked three of the images from the set on the left - YAY!

I've had a bit of a week of it (stash acquisition) as I met up with a pal at Snazzys in Swindon too
