Wednesday, we're already half way through the week!

Morning readers,

Lovely day with my pal yesterday, we had a coffee and a chat, followed by lunch and more chat and then another drink and ... you guessed it, more chat, it was smashing to just chill.

I've a make to share with you today, monochrome but with a pop of colour and sparkle ... another chance to use plenty of snippets too! Woo Hoo! 

Materials used:

  • White, 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
  • Card in white and black, for my card front, insert and matting layer
  • Snippets of card in white, textured black, textured red and DCWV glitter stack
  • Clearly Inspired image (from LCS100 - "brushed flowers") and sentiments by both MFT  (CS.74) and CRASPIRE (WHO167-57-0250) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne inks
  • I cut out the "BIRTHDAY" to attach to the front and the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" sentiment was used elsewhere on the card and envelope
  • Stardust stickles on the rose "petals" to add some celebratory sparkle


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

  1. AAA Birthday - challenge No. 89 - USE PATTERNED PAPER
  2. Lost Coast Portal to Creativity - challenge No. 213 - BLACK, WHITE + ONE (I used a matting layer of red)

You're working your way nicely through the monochrome snippets, helped along by some glitz and an odd pop of colour. Your chill day yesterday sounds like it was a fun thing to do.

You’ve made a beautiful card.

I’m not sure if you’ve seen yet that you’re in the GD Top at Kleuren met potloden? We would love for you to be a Guest Designer for us. Blogger has been acting up lately nothing new is showing up in the reading list which is why I’m sending you this quick message.

Hugs, Astrid

This looks great in black and white Kathy, and with just that pop of red with the mat around the pretty flower topper..a terrific card. x
