Morning readers

I've a make to share with you today .... and Artist Trading Coin, made for a themed swap where the theme is Black and White plus a hint of Pink

My Artist Trading Coin

Materials used:

• Snippets of card in white (for the back), black and Designer (striped) Paper
• Nesting dies in 2½" and 2¼" to cut my ATCoin layers
• Craft Stamper free coneflower image (from, probably, about 2015/16) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink, and a black Wink of Stella glitter gel brush pen to bling up the black!
• MFT sentiment (from BB-40 "Bitty Bears") stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
• Two cerise pink faux brads for my "hint of pink"

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

And now for a CAS (Clean And Simple) card ....

My card

 

The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:

• White C6/A2, 250gsm card and matching sized envelope
• Two pieces of white card cut to fit
• One piece of pearl grey card (DCWV) cut to mat
• Piece of scrap card with a rectangle cut from it, to use as a mask
• With my mask in place I applied Memento rosebud and grey flannel inks using an Aldi stencil brush
• With my Tim Holtz stencil (from set #35) placed over my masked panel I applied more of the same inks through the stencil
• Altenew sentiment (from ALT3031 - "Trendy Circles") stamped using Versafine nocturne ink
• At this point I HAD originally planned to stamp with circles from the same set but, actually, I really liked all the stencilled triangles, so I figured Less really IS more!

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

1. Perfectly CAS - challenge No. 6 - SHAPES (inked rectangle and stencilled triangles)
2. Pearly Sparkles - challenge No. 49 - FOR LADIES/GIRLS
3. Dragonfly Dreams - March 1st challenge - MAKE IT FEMININE
4. Dream Valley - challenge No. 220 - FOR GIRLS ONLY
5. Happy Little Stampers - March CAS challenge - USE YOUR FAVE TECHNIQUE .. I go through phases of favourites but it's undeniable that my current favourite is that of stencilling - you've only to look at my posts over the past week to see the evidence!
