Morning readers,
Hope you all enjoyed a great weekend, our Saturday was pretty quiet though a friend did stop by for a chat and a drink. Sunday was a family BBQ with the surrogates, to celebrate a birthday .. and the usual mayhem ensued! Great cake though, made by Sophie

I've a make to share with you today ....... got a bumper crop of new stash whilst I was away last week and was like a rabbit in the headlights as to which to start with. The set used below was part of a discussion after I THOUGHT I'd finished shopping, we got chatting with the store owner about the fabulous fonts used by Picture This and she said "hang on a minute, pretty sure I have some somewhere" and headed off to rummage. Sadly, she must have sold them all but ... she did unearth the set used today - a must have, IMHO!

Materials used:
- White, 250gsm, C6 card and matching envelope
- Card in white, mid grey and burgundy, for my card front, insert and matting
- Picture This image (from Little People 033 - 2023 - NBUS) stamped using Memento tuxedo black
- TCP sentiment (from S.5845.CL) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
- Using my magnetic mat I fixed my Clearly Besotted heart stencil over my card front image and, using a makeup brush, applied Distress Oxide in festive berries, mostly around the outer edge (for definition) but also to give just a hint of colour to the heart
- Alcohol markers to colour and B&M glitter markers to accentuate the gentleman's tie and the lady's coat buttons

Great card Kathy, you didn't waste any time using your new stash. TFS the photos of your break, looks like a beautiful part of the country and even better to have a craft store to visit. xx
Lovely use of the challenge Kathy, the subtle heart stencil is perfect for the image background. Thanks for joining in at Just Add Ink.
What a beautiful anniversary card Kathy and an enjoyable visit to the Artistic Stamper... nothing like a bit of shopping. More wonderful photos of your trip last week, and it seems the weather was far better there than here. x
Great card and pictures Kathy, Looks like a lovely place,
