Friday again!

Morning readers

I've a make to share with you today .... aside from marking the quadrants this was a really quick and simple card and yet, I really like it and the modern heart style

My card

 

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

Materials used:

• White 6" square, 250gsm card and matching sized envelope
• Two pieces of white card cut to fit
• One piece of pearlised gold card, cut to mat
• On the white card, using a soft pencil and pressing LIGHTLY) I marked the centre lines top to bottom and left to right and the diagonals. I then marked the point where I wanted my heart to start
• Honey Bee heart image (from HBST-16) stamped alternately, using Memento rosebud and Lady bug inks
• After letting my inks dry thoroughly (to avoid ANY risk of smearing) I used an eraser to remove the pencil lines
• TCP sentiment (from S.5845-CL) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink

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

1. Dare2BArtsy - February challenge - LOVE IS IN THE AIR
2. Dragonfly Dreams - February challenge - IT'S A LOVE THING

And another make today - you're NOT seeing things ... it really IS a Christmas card - in February, I've made a few of these recently and am well on my way to completing my 2020 quota despite the fact it's on February!

Regular readers may recall that hubby and I do an annual Secret Santa with "the surrogates" and our incoming gift in 2019 was a groupon steak meal for two which included a glass of wine! Turned out to have been a little tricky to book but it was certainly worth it .... we redeemed our Christmas gift on Wednesday evening and it was yumscrumptious. The steak was huge despite being billed as an 8oz steak - plainly scales have changed since the days of Berni Inns! Thank you Secret Santa

I discovered one of my cards was picked as a winner over at challenge No.355 on the CAS Colours and Sketch Challenge Blog, thank you so much to the Design Team, always nice to know that people like your work.
