TGIF peeps!!! TGIF

Morning readers, 

Hope you've had a good week, hubby went off on a training course which left me "unsupervised" on Wednesday and Thursday so I binged all the TV hubby doesn't enjoy (but I SOOO do!) and crafted to my heart's content, marvellous! Course, he returned home yesterday evening so normal service has now resumed, thankfully!

I've a make to share with you today ....... I make no apologies for the fact that it's yet another Christmas card but - I AM getting there! Always good to give those markers a bit of an outing too!

My 3½" x 4⅞" card
And a closer view of the colours and sparkle

Materials used:
  • White, 250gsm, 3½" x 4⅞" card and matching envelope
  • Card in white and red, for my card front, insert and matting
  • Penny Black image (from Winter Wonderland - 2018) stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
  • Clearly Besotted sentiment (from Simply Said Christmas) stamped using Versafine Clair tulip red ink
  • Alcohol markers used to colour my image
  • Crystal stickles used, to bling the fur, "grounding" and some of the presents

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Sept challenge - ANYTHING GOES + (optional) FOOD AND DRINK
  2. Peace On Earth - challenge No. 24 - ANYTHING GOES
  3. Colour Crazy - challenge No. 37 - ANYTHING HAND COLOURED GOES
  4. The Holly and Ivy - challenge No. 124 - ANYTHING CHRISTMAS GOES
  5. Aud Sentiments - challenge No. 297 - CHRISTMAS + A SENTIMENT

I was picked as a TOP PICK over at Krafty Chicks earlier this week, for their challenge #629, with my dog Christmas card - thanks so much peeps. I am delighted to know that people loved the card, well, the image really - I had so many lovely comments (on Facebook) about it, it seems that Anita's could sell a lot of this stamp if it was still available but ...... I've had my wood mounted stamp over 15 years, sorry! I have the Christmas CAT version too, perhaps it's time to give that a play too ..


AND this same super image turns out to have been chosen as a TOP3 over at Crafty Catz too - thank you so much
