TGIF peeps! except its only Thursday - oopsie

Morning readers, 

Ever get one of those days when you are convinced it's a certain day? I was so sure it was Friday today that I hit "publish" on my Friday post .... I was half way through entering challenges when a lightbulb moment revealed the truth .... that it was actually only THURSDAY! Still, too late now so I've confessed my sins and hope you will forgive me! DOH! I plead extenuating circumstances right now ..... that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

I've a make to share with you today ....... an Artist Trading Card .... only 3½" x 2½" but you can still pack a lot onto it!

My ATC
Materials used:
  • ATC blank
  • Snippets of leftover card in white and a textured deep green
  • Unbranded sentiment and Habico image (from wedding set 2) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
  • Using a makeup brush and Adirondack sunrise orange ink I added a light cover of colour, taking care to avoid my stamped image
  • I overlaid my Creative Expressions tile stencil (CEMSTILES) before adding a further layer of ink, again taking care not to stencil over my image
  • Gold metallic Pitt pen used to edge my white card panel

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday challenge - ANYTHING GOES
  2. Penny's Paper Crafty - challenge No. 531 - ANYTHING GOES
  3. Ellibelles - Sept challenge - ANYTHING GOES
  4. TTCRD - Sept 27th challenge - ANYTHING GOES
Imagine my surprise to look out of the window recently and to see not one but two hot air balloons sweeping majestically past. It's not an uncommon sight in July and August but, late September? Well that's a little less common - nice to see them though.

A really interesting ATC Kathy and I love the brickwork background and the stylish couple with a very apt sentiment. I find that sometimes I get the wrong day in my head quite often when we have had a bank holiday and I seem to be a day out for the rest of the week..lol. x
