Wednesday - downhill to the weekend!

Morning readers, 

My first make for today is another "no sentiment" make, my customer likes to have them totally blank so she can write her own greetings inside. She really liked the half dozen I had made for her ... so much so that she requested 15 more! That should keep me busy for a bit! Expect more sentiment free makes over the coming weeks!

My C6/A2 card

And a closer view of the pastel inked panel
Materials used:
  • White, 240gsm, A2/C6 card and matching envelope
  • Card in both white and deep purple, for my card front, insert and matting
  • Scrap card from which I die cut a rectangle, to use as a mask
  • Low tack tape, to keep my "mask" in place
  • Using a makeup brush I applied Memento sweet plum ink to my masked off rectangle, applying more colour to the outer edges and leaving the centre almost clear of ink

Another terrific inky ATC. Very attractive.

ADORE the flower stamp you used on the no-sentiment card too.

You are a very talented card (and ATC) maker, so no surprise your friend commissioned MORE cards.

Happy Midweek! xxx
