Friday and another weekend looms large - got plans?

Morning readers, 

I've a make to share with you today ....... this is another commission make for the person who prefers NOT to have a sentiment stamped on their card, leaving more room for their own greeting of choice.

My C6 card

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6/A2 card and matching envelope
• Card in white and grey for my card front, insert and matting
• Using a piece of scrap card and low tack tape I masked off my panel for inking
• Using a makeup brush and Distress Oxide in black soot I inked the panel ensuring it was darker near the top of my panel
• Overlaying my Tim Holtz stencil (THMS007) I added more black soot
• Tim Holtz image (from THJ004 "Getting There") stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink

And now for a spring ATC ....... I just love the scale of an Artist Trading Card

My ATC, measuring just 3½" x 2½"

And a closer view - to show the quotation detail

Materials used:

• ATC blank
• Snippets of leftover card in white and navy
• Using an Aldi stencil brush and Memento dandelion I added a light covering to the entire white snippet
• Overlaying my Finnabair butterfly stencil I added further dandelion ink
• CTMH quotation (from D1257 "Make it count") stamped (2nd and 3rd generation impressions) using Memento gray flannel ink - to give a little extra interest and "texture"
• Hampton Art sentiment (from "mini calendar - flip album) stamped using Versafine Clair paradise ink - this 15 year old stamp set got "rediscovered" recently as NBUS and is now proving quite useful - thanks Darnell!
• Clearly Inspired coneflower image (from LCS100 "brushed flowers") stamped using Versafine Clair paradise ink
• Sharpies in yellow and blue, to edge the panels and conceal any white borders
