Wednesday - happy hump day!

Morning readers, 

Welcome to my latest follower, Pauline (of Passion for Paper), hope you will stop by again real soon.

I've a make to share with you today ....... it's been left "sentiment free" as the person who ordered it likes to add their own greetings, so I've tried to make cards which fit multiple occasions.

My C6 card

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6/A2 card and matching envelope
• White card and lilac card, for my card front, insert and matting
• Using a piece of scrap card and a makeup brush I masked off my card front and applied Adirondack purple twilight ink, using far more colour at the mask edge and fading towards the bottom of my card front
• Creative Expressions image (from CEC 830) stamped using Versafine Clair charming pink ink

And then I thought - wonder if this would work for a masculine card ... never one NOT to exhaust a technique, I simply HAD to have a go - this ombre colour scheme isn't so obvious though - what do you think? Yes or No?

And this is the "masculine" version of my C6 card

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6/A2 card and matching envelope
• Card in white and navy, for my card front, insert and matting
• Using low tack tape and a strip of scrap card, I masked off my panel and used a  makeup brush to apply Memento Paris dusk ink
• Aall & Create image (from set #76) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
• It was always going to be impossible to co-ordinate my card front using the Aall & Create train stamp, just too big, so I found what LOOKED a bit like a railroad crossing image (from StudioLight SL363) and stamped that using Versafine Clair twilight ink. In order to try and make it look like part of my design I stamped it again on the inside of my card

Whilst out on my recent walks, I've enjoyed the fact that I have access to some lovely leafy footpaths and I thought I would share some pix with you, hope you enjoy them
