Monday, that can only mean one thing - it's the start of another week!

Morning readers, 

I've a make to share with you today ....... I've voluntarily made the cards below as One Layer Cards! I so often forget to make them One Layer, even when the challenge requires it!

The card design

A small batch of just two cards

The fronts, backs and insides of my cards along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:

• Two Kraft 4" x 4" 300gsm cards and matching sized envelopes
• Two pieces of Kraft card cut to fit, for the inserts
• Funky Fossil image (from "Silly Snowmen") stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
• StudioLight sentiment (from SL470) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
• Faber Castell polychromos pencils and Copic Atyou Spica glitter pens used to colour the image
• Unicorn stickles to bling up the card front

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

1. Merry Little Christmas - challenge No. 27 - ANYTHING (Christmas) GOES
2. The Holly and Ivy - challenge No. 81 - ANYTHING (Christmas) GOES
3. Crafty  Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge - challenge No. 512 - ANYTHING (Christmas) GOES
4. Colour Crazy - challenge No. 41 - ANYTHING (hand coloured) GOES
5. Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday challenge - MAKE AN ENVELOPE TO MATCH THE CARD

And now ... another batch (of 2) Christmas cards ..... I used a sketch and (rather unusually for me) even used a VERY similar image ... since I have not one but two similar stamps - neither of which has seen ink in a while!!! Given the small scale of my card (just 4" x 4") I had to take a little poetic license with the placement of the sentiment and hope I will be forgiven!
