Morning readers,
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend and packed it with stuff we're once more allowed to do, responsibly, of course! I also hope that Saturday's rain didn't spoil anything for you ... I only JUST managed to get my washing in as it started!! Thank heavens I didn't leave it any longer - it would quickly have become wetter than when I hung it out!!!
I've a make to share with you today ....... thought I'd break the seal on a new stencil I got just this past week, the six-a-side stencil from Clearly Besotted.

| My C6 card |
The front/back and inside of my C6 card and the front/back of the envelope
 |
| Hopefully, this closer view will show the fab foiling |
Materials used:
- White, 250gsm, C6 card and matching envelope
- Card in white, cut to fit and mat
- Clearly Besotted stencil (six a side - NBUS) used with a makeup brush, to apply Distress Inks in fossilised amber and spiced marmalade
- Overlaying my Dutchdoobadoo stencil (470.715.129) I added more of the spiced marmalade ink
- Penny Black foliage image (from "Allegro") and Clearly Besotted sentiment (from "brushed sentiments") stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
- C-artUS bee image (01883/1060) stamped using Versafine onyx black ink and, whilst wet, I sprinkled Judikins "sticky stuff" over the image, heat setting. Whilst still very tacky I overlaid my gold foil and burnished firmly using my fingers to obtain the fabulous (and slightly grungey) foiling effect!
I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
- NBUS - challenge No. 28 - USE NBUS
- AAA Cards - challenge No. - SKETCH + (optional) CRITTERS .. I rotated the sketch, I hope it's felt I kept it close enough to be recognisable
- Dream Valley Challenges - challenge No. 251 - ALL OCCASIONS
- Country View Challenges - July challenge - USE A STENCIL (or two)
- Cardz4Galz - challenge No. 150 - GET INKY

This is beautiful Kathy and I love the large honeycomb stencilling and the DD stencilling within and the pretty added silhouette PB flowers look great over the top, and finished fabulously with the foiled bee and a lovely sentiment. I love the yellow and orange combination and the coordinating matted layer which finishes it perfectly. x
It's a FABULOUS card. Love everything about it.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
