| My card |
The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope
Materials used:
- White C6/A2, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
- Two pieces of white card cut to fit
- One piece of pearl grey card, cut to mat
- One piece of scrap card with an aperture cut from it - to use as a mask
- With my mask taped in place and using a makeup brush I applied Memento grey flannel ink to the card front panel
- Leaving the mask in place I added the Dutchdoobadoo stencil (470.715.129) I applied more of the grey flannel ink through the stencil
- With the mask removed I stamped the Inkadinkado sentiment (98693) and Close To My Heart (01523) musical notes using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
- Paper Artsy splatter (from HTPX01) stamped using Memento ladybug ink
I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
And, since I'm KIND OF social distancing by staying home when I don't HAVE to go out ... I've found myself spending more time at the ToC .... and yesterday I found myself catching up on my correspondence so, naturally, thought I'd practice my mail art. I used Memento inks (dandelion, Canteloupe, Tangelo and Rosebud. Stencils by Tim Holtz and TCW and images from StudioLight and Creative Expressions.

Super looking mail art . . . I never think to do that around the address label, I just add stamps to the front of the envelope to match it's card. Great idea tho.
Your first card certainly ROCKS.
So do you. Now go and get dressed!!!!!

Great card Kathy,

Great CAS card. Love inside and out and the envelope. I was on day 12 of social distancing and I didn't wake up until almost noon! At least we crafters have a way to pass the time. Thanks for playing with us this week at Krafty Chicks.
