Sentiment as Main Focus for CCC!

Hello All, another weekend, gosh they come around quickly and so does the two weekly Christmas Card Club Challenge, I can hardly believe that two weeks have gone already.

 Anyhow, I hope you are all well and enjoying the weekend. 

We are quiet today, but tomorrow, we are meeting Alistair's Niece Karen to scatter her Dad's ashes. It's happening beyond Glencoe so it's a long drive for us, but Jim requested this as it's a loch he used to fish at, it's Loch Ba. So up bright and early as I'll have to take a motion sickness tablet two hours before  we go, it's all  twisty, windy roads and I hate them. Of course poor Alistair has to do the driving. It is beautiful scenery though and I find Glencoe's scenery spectacular. 

So on to my card and this time around Elizabeth chose the theme and wants to see the sentiment as the cards focus,


Quite a simple card, I just inked up the background in various blue inks and splattered with silver paint. I found this sentiment die in a drawer, so I don't know which brand it is. Mounted it on to glitter card and added some silver dots. Cardi-io stamps on the envelope. I hope this will do Elizabeth, it's a lovely challenge and I did enjoy it, thank you.

Thank you for all the lovely comments you left on my last post, so very kind.

That's me for now, scheduling my post for tomorrow, Sunday for when the challenge goes live. Take card of yourselves and see you soon.

  17. Simply Beautiful! Love the blues, my favorite color!

    Kate, thanks for the sweet comment on my blog regarding the tragedy we experienced in Buffalo this week. We are all still trying to comprehend how this could happen here. Tonight we learned on the news that the boy that shot all those innocent people was in the store the day before and about 2 weeks ago also.

    Hugs

  25. I love the way you have ink blended the background Kate and such pretty blue tones, and the large white sentiment stands out beautifully against it, also finsihed with the silver splatters and dots, and that bit of glitter from the matted layer looks great. x
