Saturday and what about this weather?

Morning readers,

First it's wet then it's sunny, then it's blimmin' parky and, this morning, it's very wet and very windy! - make up your mind why don't you? No idea what to put on in the mornings this week! Layers is plainly the way to go!

Anyhoo ..... been hard at work at the Table of Craftiness this week ... got to use more dies than stamps with this card - for a change .. but I LIKE it!


My card
 
The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:
  • Cream A2/C6, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
  • Two pieces of cream card cut to fit
  • One piece of black card, cut to mat
  • Snippets of card in black, red and striped
  • WRMK nesting banner dies - used on the black and striped card
  • Sizzix/Tim Holtz splatter die (front thinlets 66022), used on the red card
  • Happy Little Stampers (Butterfly Birthday) sentiment stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
  • Creative Expressions splatter (CEC851 - "Inspiring Edges") stamped using Ranger Archival sepia ink - on the reverse, insert and envelope where I couldn't easily add the die

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. The Paper Shelter - December 12th challenge - 8th Birthday blog hop and BIRTHDAY challenge
  2. Crafty Creations - challenge No. 380 - ANYTHING GOES
  3. The Male Room - challenge No. 100 - CELEBRATE
  4. Happy Little Stampers - December challenge - ANYTHING GOES WITH DIES
