Saturday and how's your weekend shaping up?

Morning readers, 

I've a layered Artist Trading Card, despite their relatively small size (measuring just 3½" x 2½") ... you can pack a lot on to one, as today's make seems to prove!!!

My ATC

A closer view, to show the foiling detail

Below: layers one and two, stencilled and then some background stamping

Materials used:

• ATC blank
• Snippets of card in white, deep purple and some DCWV embossed polka dot card
• Using a makeup brush I added a light covering of Ranger Archival majestic violet before overlaying my Carabelle hearts stencil and adding another layer of the violet ink
• Hero Arts sentiment (from CL342) stamped using Versafine Clair morning mist ink
• Paper Artsy background script (from ELB30) stamped using a second generation impression of Memento gray flannel ink
• Paper Artsy foiliage (also from ELB30) stamped using Versafine Claire nocturne ink
• Using my WRMK foiling pen (suitably warmed up!) and a sheet of silver foil, I added just a few dashes of foil, to give it some added texture and interest
• Light purple sharpie pen used to edge the layers of my ATC
• Finally, I used dimensional foam pads to attach my image panel to my layered ATC
