Morning readers, 

As another work week comes to a close and the weekend approaches, I hope you've all had a good week and have something nice to look forward to this weekend too.

I've a make to share with you today ....... got the chance to ink up a VERY elderly image .... from a set I acquired in 2007!!!! Woo Hoo!

  • Card in white and sunshine yellow, for my card front, insert and matting
  • Using a T-Square and Aldi stencil brushes I applied inks in a kind of plaid pattern ... Memento dandelion, tangelo and ladybug
  • Paper Artsy image (from HP1004) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne .... elsewhere on my card I used second generation impressions, to enable the sender to write over my image, should the need arise!

The PA silhouette flowers are very pretty Kathy, and another great background making the stripes cross to give that plaid type look and such super colour, and a sweet hedgie image on the second and the masked circle around it with the little bit of blended ink and then the added sun rays makes your eye go straight to it. So prettily coloured and love that beautiful green matted layer. x
