Saturday and what's in store for us all this weekend?

Morning readers, 

What's in store for us? Will there be snow? Frost? Or just plain jolly cold! One thing we should be able to guarantee though - no New Year parties, darn it!

I've a make to share with you today .......

My Artist Trading Card, with the theme of "TRANSPORT"
Materials used:
  • ATC blank
  • Snippets of leftover card in white and navy
  • 7 Gypsies accounts image stamped using Memento London fog and Penny Farthing (both images from SC0503) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
  • Using Memento Paris dusk and a makeup brush, I applied a light coverage to the entire white card snippet before placing my Memory Box grid stencil (88517) and adding further colour randomly
  • Penny Black sentiment (3657 "Wishes") stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne
  • Once assembled I used a white Tsukineko gelly roll gel pen to doodle a border

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Pammie's Inky Pinkies - challenge No. 2101 - ANYTHING GOES
  2. A Place to Start - challenge No. 1 - ANYTHING GOES
  3. HLS - January stencil challenge - ANYTHING (with a stencil) GOES
  4. The House that Stamps Built - challenge No. 621 - ANYTHING GOES
  5. CRAFT - challenge No. 582 - ANYTHING GOES

Closest I got to a New Year Resolution was to place myself under a stash buying ban - didn't last long, I took delivery of the stash below, from Clearly Besotted, just yesterday .... I sense a Christmas card (or two) MAY be in the offing!

I love this ATC Kathy featuring a Penny Farthing bike and the accounts image stamped softly in the background, also a bit of coordinating blue for the graph stencilling, and finished with some white gel pen doodling to the corners. Looking forward to seeing the new stash in action too. x

Love your background. It's so interesting and I like the use of two colors to create it. Great job of adding more interest with the doodled corners. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Stencil Challenge.
