Welcome to my Friday post and a new challenge from the girls at LTCCB

Morning readers,

I'm gonna say this once, and leave it out there ... what about this WEATHER? 'Nuff said

It's time for another challenge over at the Love To Craft Challenge Blog - it's always Anything Goes and we'd love to see you enter the challenge. What have I to share with you this month? Well, it got perilously close to Christmas before I made my dear husbands Christmas card for 2018 so I wanted to get a headstart on this year and have his as one of the FIRST made for 2019, so .......

My card

And a closer view to show the colouring/foiling/gloss

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

Materials used:

• White C6/A2, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
• Two pieces of 300gsm white card cut to fit
• One piece of 300gsm red card, cut to mat
• Sparkle 'n Sprinkle image and sentiment (from set #823 "Grumpy Goose") stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
• "TO" sentiment (Crafty Impressoins PICST703) inside the card only, and Precious Remembrance Shop sentiment (Sketchy Christmas) stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
• Faber Castell polychromos pencils used to colour the image
• Using my WRMK "heatwave" foiling tool I added a sketchy gold "border" to the red matting layer, to make it look a little more luxurious ... because he's (soooo) worth it!
• Anita's dimensional gloss applied to the bells, stardust stickles to the snow and Wink of Stella clear glitter gel brush pen used to twinkle up the grumpy turkey!
