Monday and the start of a new week

Morning readers, 

I've a make to share with you today ....... an Artist Trading Card, measuring just 3½" x 2½" - gave me a chance to use some washi tape which I bought whilst on vacation in Rye, in 2023, but haven't used much .... oh and also the opportunity to get out my much neglected alcohol inks! Woo Hoo!

My ATC - truer colour representation below

Showing a hint of foiling

Materials used:

• ATC blank
• Snippets of card in white and grey
• A selection of washi tape
  
• Alcohol inks: Wild Plum, Cool Peri and Latte + blending solution 
• Quickie glue pen, applied randomly, and (once dry) bronze foil applied and burnished using my fingers, to give a random sketchy foiling effect
• Sizzix die used to cut my floral silhouette using a white card snippet
• Tim Holtz Idea-ology "small talk" sticker

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

1. Love to Craft - challenge No. 78 - ANYTHING GOES
2. Pattie's Creations - challenge No. 215 - ANYTHING GOES
3. Creative Fingers - challenge No. 271 - ANYTHING GOES
4. Gem of a Challenge - challenge No. 3 - ANYTHING GOES
5. Ally's Angels - challenge No. 79 - ANYTHING GOES

Hope you all enjoyed a great weekend - we were celebrating a birthday, a few of us met up for dinner at a Caribbean hostelry not far from home - we had a blast!

A fabulous (and delicious) personalised cake too
our thanks to "the surrogate fam"

The gifts get more cryptic, with age!!!
