Wednesday ... the weekend can't be far away now!

Morning readers,

Honestly, what AM I like? I published this without entering any challenges (and not for the first time) - my excuse? I was out for the day yesterday and was cream crackered by the time I got home too! Still, a dear friend reminded me and I have now fixed that ... and entered a few challenges but, no, Sarn - I can't enter the PerfectlyCAS challenge with my perfectly CAS make as the theme is BIRTHDAY - boo!

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
• Two pieces of white card cut to fit
• One piece of black card, cut to mat
• Low tack tape, to mask off my image panel
• Using a Tim Holtz mini blender I added Distress Inks: pumice stone, hickory smoke and faded jeans till I was happy with the colour
• Using a barely moist wet wipe and a Tim Holtz sunray stencil I knocked back some of the colour .... a little too much ... so, without re-inking my blending tool I smooshed over and added some of that colour back in!
• Recollections train image and Fiskars sentiment stamped using Versafine onyx black ink

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

1. Crafty Sentiments - October 22nd challenge - ANYTHING GOES
2. Through The Craft Room Door - October 21st challenge - ANYTHING GOES
3. Lemon Shortbread - challenge No. 105 - ANYTHING GOES

And now for a Christmas card ..
