Monday, here we go, another week!

Morning readers,

Hope you all enjoyed a great weekend, and that weather didn't interfere with any plans you may have had.

I've a make to share with you today ... I made a really CAS card using this lovely foliage stamp recently and it reminded me that I SHOULD use it more often. So, here's a CAS card but less CAS than the last one ....

My C6 card

With just the background colour and stencilling

Materials used:

  • White, 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
  • Card in white and black, for my card front, insert and matting
  • Snippets of card in white and black, for my image panel and matting

  • Impression Obsession foliage image (D13816) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink, first and 2nd generation impressions
  • Aall & Create sentiment (from set #630) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink

This is really pretty Kathy and I love the mix of the background stencilled leaves and then the black silhouette first and second generation ones stamped over the top. x
