Monday and there's another week in view ......

Morning readers, 

Hope you all had your share of the good weather at the weekend, get up to much? My hubby was at an outdoor show so, once my daily walk was over, I got to do pretty much whatever I wanted! Yes, there were some chores in there but I was able to read, craft, watch a movie! YAY!

I've a make to share with you today .......

My 4" square Kraft card

  • White and black card cut to fit and mat
  • Inkadinkado mantel image (60-30984 "Holiday silhouette") and Clearly Besotted sentiment ("mini calligraphy") stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink and a stamping platform
  • Using a makeup brush I applied the following Distress Inks until I was happy with the warm rich "hearth" colours: squeezed lemonade, fossilised amber, ripe persimmon and festive berries
  • Once my inks were dry I gave the panel a quick spritz of Crafts Companion spray and shine, to protect the water based inks
