Friday - the weekend starts now!

Morning readers, 

Hope you've had a good week and that the weather didn't disturb your sleep last night .. my husband says it was very windy out there but I slept through till 06:00 and didn't hear a thing!!! 

I've a make to share with you today .......

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
  • Card in 300gsm cream and white - nesting dies cut in to plain and "faux stitched" rectangles
  • Tim Holtz THS002 "bubbles" stencil through which I applied Distress Oxide in antique linen, using a mini blender
  • I then swapped my Tim Holtz stencil for a Memory Box grid stencil (88517) and a makeup brush before applying Memento rich cocoa ink
  • Penny Black image (from Allegro - in my stash since before I started photographing it in 2010) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink and the sentiment from the same set using Versafine Clair pinecone ink
  • Inside the card I stamped the TCP birthday sentiment (from S.5845.CL - in my stash since 2017) using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
  • Stardust stickles applied strategically over the focal image, to bling it up a bit!

I love the PB silhouette flowers with the little dots and squares stencilled in the background and the pretty stitched rectangle layer together with the super sentiment finishes it beautifully Kathy. The wind did get up here last night but is not so bad today, even a little sun too, right now whilst I'm typing, but not going to last I think. x

Fabulous looking card. The stencilled background perfectly compliments the silhouette flower.

The background stenciling in just one area is very effective.
Thanks for sharing with us at Little Red Wagon this week. :)

This is a gorgeous card and the stencilled corner knocks it right out of the park. Thanks for joining in with us at Retro Rubber Challenge.
