It's Friday once more ..

Morning readers,

Well, we've been on lockdown in the UK for a few days now and I can't be the only person who no longer knows (or cares, much) what day it is. I've been going out for a walk each day and meeting very few people as everyone heeds the instruction to self-isolate. The people I have met are, for the most part, mindful of personal space and we've each moved further apart as we've approached and passed. It's good to see people taking it seriously, of course, there will always be some for whom the rules are only advisory but ... here's hoping those remain germ free too, as we all do our best to "get through this" - best of luck everyone.

I've a make to share with you today .... actually, it's TWO makes made at the same time and using the same materials so that they co-ordinate . . . . 
My card
 
The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope
Hopefully, a better view of the stencilling
Materials used:
  • White C6/A2, 250gsm card and matching sized envelope
  • Two pieces of white card cut to fit
  • One piece of orange card, cut to mat
  • Cut down piece of full coverage post-it, positioned (on my envelope) where the address fits
  • With my Stamplorations stencil (delicate links) in place I applied Memento dandelion ink using a makeup brush
  • Changing my stencil to the spots on the Dutchdoobadoo stencil (470.715.129) I applied Memento tangelo ink
  • StudioLight images (from SL341 and SL362) stamped using Memento tangelo and rosebud inks
  • Woodware sentiment (from FRS632) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
  • Removing the post-it from my envelope I then doodled a border and a "TO" using a Faber Castell Pitt pen

Love these Kathy, and an unusual font for the sentiment which is striking. Roads are quiet here, and people distancing. All a bit weird, but hopefully it will help us get through this. Stay safe xxx

Love the look of this one Kathy. Also like the way you have stamped it...very effective.

We are self isolating here and miss our grandkids so much but keep in touch when they walk the dog each day. The ring us from their cell phone and stand on the road side walk chatting, as we sit on the porch enjoying our little visit with them for 5 treasured min. Such a treat.

What a beautiful card: beautifully done that background and then the sentiment over it! Beautiful colors too: they are cheerful colors, but still it has become a very subdued card. Well done.
Much strength in this time. But also thank you for participating in All Fun Challenges and we hope you'll be back next time in good health!

Great card and co-ordinating ATC Kathy! Your design are superb and i adore the font of the sentiments - enabled me there kid! Love the orange and black too. Oddly enough, I'm late commenting so hadn't seen this, I used orange, black, white and some green on my snippets card for this week! AND, finally, I decorated the back of an envelope to match :)

Hugs
