Wednesday - downhill to Friday now!

Morning readers,

You may have noticed that I've not been quite as prolific in blogland lately - been struggling with a wicked bout of flu and, no sooner do I think I've turned a corner, then I find myself feeling really rubbish again. I'd said goodbye once to this sinus-y headache so why's it back? 

Ah well, it's knocked me sideways and no mistake, there's been a positive crafting drought at the Purple Palace of late! Anyway, yesterday I DID head to the Table of Craftiness and here is what I made .....

My Artist Trading Coin

Materials used:

• Snippets of card in white and orange
• Nesting circular dies used to cut the ATCoin circles
• On the smaller circle I stamped my image and sentiment using Versafine Clair nocturne ink which I heat set using clear embossing powder
• Faber Castell polychromos pencils used to colour the image
• Tim Holtz mini stencil set #035 (I used all three stencils) using Memento London fog, dandelion and tangelo inks in conjunction with Aldi stencil brushes
• Sakura white gelly roll gel pen used to doodle the border and cat prints

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

1. Through The Craft Room Door - February 12th challenge - ANYTHING GOES
2. Lemon Shortbread - challenge No. 87 - ANYTHING GOES
3. SUYP - challenge No. 39 - FURRYTHING GOES (must contain cat/s)
4. Tiddly Inks - challenge No. 222 - ATC FUN ... though I'm hoping COIN works as well as CARD
