Monday - look out - here comes another week!

Morning readers, 

I've a couple of makes to share with you today ....... both Artist Trading Cards and both "the same but different" - a batch make, to produce a few .... where I cut all the panels and selected one set of stamp/sentiments ... I then embellished each image panel slightly differently, as you will see below.

My finished ATC
Materials used:
  • ATC blank
  • Snippets of white card and handmade cream card with gold foiled foliage
  • Aall & Create image and sentiment (from set #406) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
  • Using make up brushes I applied Memento dandelion to the entire image panel (avoiding the image, obvs) and then Ranger Archival pink, working from the outer edge towards the image and then Ranger Archival majestic violet, to the very outer edge
  • Sharpie pens used to colour

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Sweet Stampin' - June 10th challenge - PRETTY IN PINK
  2. Polkadoodles - challenge No. 24 - ANYTHING GOES
  3. Pattie's Creations - challenge No. 207 - ANYTHING GOES
  4. Creative Crafters - challenge No. 65 - ANYTHING GOES

And my second "same but different" ATC ...

My finished ATC
Materials used:
  • ATC blank
  • Snippets of card in white and handmade blue (with pink roses)
  • Aall & Create image and sentiment (from set #406) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
  • Using a makeup brush I applied Memento Bahama blue to the "white space" around my image
  • Kaisercraft "script" image stamped using Memento gray flannel ink, taking care not to overstamp my image
  • Visible Image circles (from "Universal") stamped using Memento Bahama blue ink
  • Sharpie pens used to colour my image

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Gem of a Challenge - challenge No. 12 - ANYTHING GOES
  2. Creative Fingers - challenge No. 257 - ANYTHNG GOES
  3. CraftyCatz - challenge No. 642 - ANYTHING GOES + (optional) FUN
  4. Creative Inspiration - challenge No. 3 - ANYTHING GOES

On a recent walk, in the shade, I felt the urge to take this photo and to, once again, ponder how lucky I am with the walks local to me! Strangely enough, this footpath is along the side of the parking lot to an enormous office complex! Doesn't look much like it would be though, does it?

This is another fun and quirky image Kathy, and love both of the ATC's but possibly for me the second has the edge because of the circles and script stamped in the background, and I do especially love the blue. x
