| My Artist Trading Card |
- ATC blank
- Snippets of leftover card in white, pearl grey and textured red
- Katzelkraft rat image (from KTZ179) stamped using Memento grey flannel ink. I stamped a second image on to full coverage post it which I then fussy cut out and used as a mask
- With my mask in place I positioned my first stencil (from set #24) and, using an Aldi stencil brush, applied Memento lady bug ink. I then changed to my second stencil (from set #35) and applied Memento potters clay ink
- After removing both my stencil and mask I stamped the Stamplorations "Noteworthy" sentiment using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
- Faber Castell polychromos pencils used to colour image

As I went out for my walk yesterday, imagine my surprise to see a deer in the front garden!!! One can only assume that the lack of traffic and the neighbourhood adhering to the "stay home" rules. I took the photo below (just in case) and it's just as well I did because, as I moved slowly towards it, it shot off before I managed to get 4' closer.

Rats a SUPER ATC and a VERY trendy birthday card.
Fancy seeing such fab wildlife on your doorstep. Amazing.
Happy Friday!
Hugs, Sarn xxx
two nice cards Kathy, and love both images,
Stay safe,

Both were awazing cards. I love your stenciled backgrounds. Thanks for playing along with us at PIP Challenges.
Another great ATC Kathy using that cute and quirky rat, and I love the bright colours on the card with the masked strip, and the slightly retro figure in black stands out beautifully. How wonderful to see a deer right outside your house like that. I think all wildlife is becoming more brave with the peace and quiet. There even seem to be more birds than usual about around here. x
What a great ATC -I haven't made an ATC in a long time. Great job. Thanks for joining us over at The House that Stamps Built.
I love ATCs! The rat is so cute! Great project for Repeat Impressions! Thanks for joining in our challenge.
Wonderful CAS birthday card Kathy! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Sisterhood of Crafters challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

What fun cards! I really like the stenciling on the first card; it makes it look like a mosaic! So fun! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
Such a fun CAS birthday card! Thanks so much for joining us at The Spot this week!
I love visiting your blog Kathy, what a lovely sight at your front door! Two great cards as always. Thanks for sharing with us at Watercooler Wednesday.
The silhouette stamp against the large polka dot paper is so striking!
