Materials used:
- Kraft, 300gsm, C6/A2 card and matching envelope

- Hampton Arts image (50074 "Cruising") stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink and set aside to dry fully
- Faber Castell polychromos pencils used to colour my image

And now for an Artist Trading Card .... recently I've been making cards only so it was nice to make a titchy ATC, I think I've mentioned before that I really like the challenge of smaller scale! I've had this sentiment stamp set for years (and YEARS) but this is the first time I've gotten around to using this particular sentiment from the set - Yee Haa!

A great one layer card and love the sentiment on your NBUS ATC, ages since I did anything that small
Absolutely gorgeous ATC and a super OLC masculine card too.
Happy Monday and new month xxx
Aw, my heart smiled when I read that wonderful quote, Kathy! Thank you for starting my Monday and my new month off that way! And thank you for teaching me another British word: titchy is new to me and now I know it means tiny. Makes sense for your wee ATC! Thank you for being first out of the gate at NBUS and inspiring everyone! (Love the card set, too!) Hugs, Darnell
Great One Layer masculine card, Kathy. Super ATC too, what a beautiful quote. Thanks for sharing your ATC in the NBUS Challenge this month

Love your masculine card, Kathy, but the quote on your second card is one I have not seen before and I love that too. Two great cards! Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday!
Your one layer masculine card is great Kathy and works brilliantly on the kraft card, and love the clouds and birds and sweet little flower together with that great sentiment on the ATC. x
