Time for a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday
and it's
White Space OR Colourful Grunge

I decided to go for the White Space option because it's something I so rarely do. What's life without a challenge or two? So, I made a CAS card, using an image I've had for a while but only used once - till now. I used my lovely Prisma Pencils and a die I'm quite fond of the die I used for both card and borders - and a little gel pen. The words are from a different set, but I thought they were appropriate for this time of year.
You can't beat journalling with a cuppa (coffee in my case) and a little snack 😉

I used a glitter gel pen for a delicate glittery touch on some bits, as you can see here.

I'm linking this to Allsorts - More than one word

Such a beautiful card! I love stamped image against the white space and the glittery shimmer looks amazing 😁. Also I couldn't agree more, a cuppa and a snack whilst journaling should be compulsory ...lol 😉. Wishing you a wonderful week! Hugs, Jo x

Oooh that's a hard theme Cath but you certainly nailed the white space to perfection, never easy when you love your inks.

It's lovely to see you at Allsorts 'More than a Sentiment' and Penny Black and More 'Feminine' themes, many thanks for joining in at both.
