Stepping Out On Your Anniversary

Happy Thursday everyone, almost the weekend!

I hope you've had a good week & are ready to kick up your heels!

I have a Just Inklined card to share today!

I have to apologise for the photo quality, I had to take them at work

 during my lunch break & the weather was just awful.

This is a little 5"x5" square card.

The base is a sheet of patterened cs which came from Lidl!

Isn't it fantastic! As soon as I saw it I knew what I wanted to do!

A little Monochromatic card!

The perfect image to sepia tone is this one, which is called

Stepping Out

It's a very versatile image which could be used for so many different 

occasions, but this time, I used it for my sister & BIL's anniversary card!

I coloured the image with a mix of Flexmarkers & Promarkers,

cut out with a nestie & inked whilst still in the die with

Antique Linen & Pumice Stone distress inks. 

The sentimnent was done in a similar fashion, then I threaded

some seam binding & lace through the slots!

The ony other embellishment is a little old fashioned

safety pin which I threaded some lace & seam binding through!

I'm making a conscious effort to make more cards which can be

sent in the mail with just a regular stamp here in the UK.

This one definitely fits the bill as I had Jim the porter/mail man at work

check it for me in his handy little measuring guide!

Thanks Jim!
