Wednesday, midweek and a downhill slide to the weekend

Morning readers,

I'm having a sociable week this week; Monday it was retail therapy and lunch with the Surrogates, Tuesday it was coffee with a pal. Today's a little different as we're dog sitting but I'm also lunching with my two oldest friends! Hubby's at home with the dog, bless.

I've a make to share with you today ... I felt in a bit of a grungey mood recently, so looked out some old images (again - high time too, they often deserve more attention ... and ink!). And, as you can see, this GUY card developed, using grey, black and navy - I like it and I hope you will too. Does it need a pop of colour?

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
• Card in White and navy, for my card front, insert and matting layer
• Carabelle (from SA60173 - elderly, neglected stash, possibly because I struggle to get an even impression) image stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink - using a MISTI to ensure a crisp solid image
• Clearly Besotted sentiment (from "Mini Calligraphy") stamped using Versafine Clair twilight ink
• MFT splatters (from CS.97 - again, doesn't see as much ink as it really should) stamped using Versafine Clair morning mist ink

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

1. Seize the Birthday - challenge No. 324 - ANYTHING GOES + (optional) MAKE A SPRING GARDEN
2. Simply Clean And Simple - April challenge - ANYTHING CAS GOES + (optional) BASKETS

I apologise in advance for this pic but I was powerless to resist!
