Wednesday - downhill to the weekend - AND CHRISTMAS!

Morning readers, 

Well, here we are, it's Wednesday .. there are just three more sleeps to Christmas. If you have littleys in your house then they are probably pretty excited by now, heck, I'm excited and I'm FAR from being a littley!!!!

Still finding time to spend at my ToC (Table of Craftiness) I've a make to share with you today ....... for a change it's not a Christmas card - and it's not a thank you card either. Instead, it's one of those cards we card makers hate to make but need to make every so often. Again, I got to deploy some elderly stash, in the form of the wood mounted stylised tree which I bought whilst in New Zealand in 2008

My C6 card

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6/A2 card and matching envelope
• White card (for image panel and insert) and linen effect sage green matting layer
• Rubber Stamps of Montarga NZ tree image, stamped using Versafine Clare shady lane ink
• Clearly Besotted sentiment (from brushed sentiments) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
• Stamposaurus sunray stencil used, with makeup brush, to apply Memento Paris dusk ink around my tree image
