Monday and the start of another week

Morning readers,

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend, we certainly did and there's more about that at the bottom of this post!

I've a make to share with you today ... got some new stash inked and deployed both snippets of card and some designer papers!

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
• Card in white and red, for my insert and matting layer
• Designer Paper for my card front - Bo Bunny Silver and Gold collection
• Snippets of card in white and red, for my sentiment strip and image panel
• Aall & Create image (from TP-1319 - Jan 2026 - NBUS) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
• Once dry I used Arteza water colour brushes to add a little colour to my image, before trimming to size
• Using a makeup brush and Memento rich cocoa ink, I applied a light layer of colour to my image panel
• Washi Tape sentiment strip ... elsewhere on the card (instead of the washi tape) I stamped the Stampers Anonymous sentiment (from THMM155) using Versafine Clair strawberry ink.
• Stardust stickles to add some sparkle to the mistletoe berries on my image panel

Been away for a birthday weekend (three birthday's very close together but none of them mine!) on the Devon/Cornwall border. The journey down wasn't as bad as we had expected and Saturday was fine and dry but the journey home on Sunday was in drizzle/heavy rain/drizzle! Still, I believe we all had a great time, even the lovely Riddick
