Monday and another week rolls in!

Morning readers,

I trust you all enjoyed your weekend, despite the freakish weather? I hope it didn't spoil your plans - we had a couple of times waiting in the car for the rain to ease off! And the same for waiting in the house but that was easy ... I headed to the Table of Craftiness whilst I waited!

My card

 

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

Materials used:

• White A2/C6, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
• Card in white, DCWV metallic copper, kraft with script and black, all cut to fit
• Snippets of card in white and black
• Tim Holtz image stamped using Versafine onyx black ink
• Using an Aldi stencil brush I added Memento sweet plum ink around the image then, placing a Tim Holtz stencil over the panel, I applied more of the sweet plum (trying not to add ink over the actual image) to add texture and interest
• Stampendous sentiment stamped using Versafine oyx black ink before cutting to fit, matting on black card and adding to my card
