- Aall & Create image (set #292 - Aug 2023 - NBUS) stamped using Versafine Clair pinecone ink
- Tim Holtz Idea-ology sticker ... to which I applied the colours from the mini blender, without re-inking

- And finally, a quick spritz with Crafters Companion Spray and Shine - to seal and protect those water based inks

You probably spotted that I didn't make a Wednesday post, this was because the hubs and I decided to visit some friends. We had a trip planned in early December which we had to cancel because hubby was so very poorly and this was our chance to make that trip ... check out the pic and you will see that Mary and I were having a great time! So pleased we were able to make the trip, it's always so lovely to spend quality time with good friends

Love that rich colour and those splatters. I am so glad you got to visit those friends in the end xx
Another really bright and pretty ATC Kathy using this grungy scripts stamp over that wonderful orange background. I'm glad you were able to make the trip to visit your friends that you had to postpone before Christmas. I hope that means that both you and your hubby are feeling a whole lot better now. x
Great grungy ATC, Kathy. Lovely photo of you and Mary.

Perfect! This amazing ATC is beautiful. Great color - as cheerful as a rising sun. And a great use of the stamp image.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful ATC with the current Everybody Art Challenge.
This really is a lovely photo of you and your friend
