Monday - Look out ! Here comes another week!

Morning readers, 

Hope you all enjoyed a pleasant weekend and that the weather didn't spoil any plans for you .. it was cold and dank here but didn't stop us from doing anything planned, thankfully. Not much planned this week, for fairly obvious reasons. Still trying to limit personal contact with others though trying to maintain non-physical contact - thank heavens for video calls!

I've had plenty of time to spend at the ToC (Table of Craftiness) so, here's the first 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

You MAY be able to make out the stickled "bling" a little better here

Materials used:

• White C6/A2, 250gsm card and matching sized envelope
• Two pieces of white card cut to fit
• One piece of Paper Mill Christmas red card, cut to mat
• StudioLight image (SL469) stamped using Versafine Clair twilight ink
• Paper Artsy mini splatter (MN72) stamped using Memento ladybug ink
• Unicorn stickles to bling up the sentiment

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

1. NBUS - challenge No. 19 - USE NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) .. in this case the Studiolight image which arrived last Friday
2. Krafty Chicks - challenge No. 528 - CHRISTMAS
3. Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge - challenge No. 511 - ANYTHING (Christmas) GOES + (optional - unused) ADD A STOCKING 
4. Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - challenge No. 143 - ANYTHING GOES
5. Merry Little Christmas - challenge No. 27 - ANYTHING (Christmas) GOES

And, since I recently acquired some Kraft card blanks, it will come as no surprise to see that I have deployed one on this next make .....
