Friday - Woo Hoo! Roll on the weekend!

Morning readers, 

Now here's a thing I've not really been able to say since March .. I went shopping on Wednesday ... with nothing really in mind!! OK, so it was only The Range but .... it's a step forward. I also put petrol in my car, for the first time since before lockdown! My car needed a little run to recharge the batteries so I had a totally pointless little drive around whilst I was out too - felt very weird. Who knew there were SO MANY ROADWORKS and around half a dozen sets of temporary traffic lights within three miles of my home too!! What did I buy? Well, aside from the fuel, I spent just £3.99 on some 4" x 4" kraft and C6 orange card blanks! Yes, I really let rip with the credit card!

I've a make to share with you today .......

My Artist Trading Card

Materials used:

• ATC blank
• Snippets of leftover card in cream and textured chocolate 
• Using a makeup brush I applied Memento tangelo ink over the cream snippet before placing my Dutchdoobadoo letters stencil (470.715.603) over the snippet and applying more tangelo ink
• Tim Holtz mini stencil (from set #28) took the place of the Dutchdoobadoo stencil and Memento rich cocoa applied using the same makeup brush
• Carabelle washi tape images stamped using Memento rich cocoa and Versafine Clair pinecone inks
