Morning readers, 

I've a make to share with you today ....... using some new stash. Honestly, I was looking for one stamp set, featuring pigs, but ended up with four!! How often has that happened to you, dear reader?

  • Snippets of leftover card in white and red
  • Stamp set used: Aall & Create set #341 - NBUS.
  • Inks used: Versafine Clair: nocturne, morning mist, cheerful (yellow), paradise (blue)and charming pink
  • Other mediums: Daler Rowney acrylic ink in velvet violet and Twinkling H2O in majestic blue both applied with a wet paintbrush, water colour style! Sharpie pen, used to draw a border around the ATC.

A lovely ATC! I really love those colourful splashes and the amazing quill pens. I just wonder if a ATC is a card? I don´t know. Anyway, thank you very much for showing your ATC within the current EAC Challenge.
Hugs Uschi
P.S. Gorgeous photographs of your surrounding area

Hi Uschi - it's certainly not a "greeting card" as it measures 2½"x3½" and is intended for trade - I hope that fits within the brief of "anything but a card"
