Monday and another week is off and running ..

Morning readers, 

Welcome to the last day of February, hope Feb was a good month for you and that March will be even better! I came down with a cold late last week .. so weird, because of the pandemic and lockdown, hubby and I have pretty much avoided all infections for two years so ... this cold really knocked me sideways. I don't THINK it was a particularly bad cold just that I'm "out of the habit"! Not like I took to my bed or anything but .. talk about lethargy! Still, at lest I AM feeling brighter this morning!

I've a make to share with you today ....... you COULD say we're "sailing" towards the new month of March .. OK, so PERHAPS I shouldn't have said that but - too late now!

My C6 card

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6/A2 card and matching envelope
• White card and navy card, for my card front, insert and matting
• Snippets of leftover card in white, navy, grey and black, for my image panel
• Dutchdoobadoo squares stencil (470.715.609) used, a makeup brush, to apply Memento Bahama blue to the lower right corner of my card front
• On to my white snippet I stamped the ship image (manufacturer unknown but .. if I was a betting woman, I'd say Dimension Forth - it's ages old too, prob 10 years) using Versafine Clair twilight ink. 
• Without re-inking my makeup brush I just added some blue ink around the outer edges of my image panel before adhering to my navy, gray and black panels
• Funstamps sentiment (F-K12) stamped using Versafine Clair paradise ink

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

1. Krafty Chicks - challenge No. 600 - ALL OCCASIONS
2. Creative Knockouts - challenge No. 441 - ANYTHING GOES
3. Art Impressions - challenge No. 321 - OCEANS OF FUN
4. D.L. Art - challenge No. 294 - BIRTHDAY

And now, since the 25th of each month is designated "Rudolph Day" (to help us crafters to focus on getting our Christmas cards made in time) .... it will come as no surprise that my second make today is ... a Christmas card! Quick and Simple and using just one stamp set - COULD be perfect for a batch make, should I need it around November!
