Wednesday, half way through the week!

Morning readers, 

I hope you all enjoyed a pleasant Valentine's Day and marked it with cards and/or celebrations with your significant other! If you don't have a significant other, I hope you treated yourself, just because you are worth it!

I've a make to share with you today ....... an Artist Trading Card measuring 3½" x 2½"

My mixed media ATC

Materials used:

• ATC blank
• Snippets of card in white and Costco double sided (I used the plain side for this)
• Liquitex Iridescent medium, mixed with bombay "sepia" Indian ink and applied with a brush
• Paper Artsy image (from ELB30) stamped using 2nd and 3rd generation impressions of Ranger Archival watering can ink
• DecoArt metallic paints (Splendid gold and Rich espresso) applied with a dry brush
• Precious Remembrance Shop sentiment (DIY stamp set) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink and (whilst wet) sprinkled with Judikins sticky stuff and heat embossed. Whilst still warm I overlaid a sheet of gold foil and burnished firmly with my fingers - I just love the grungey effect this method of foiling gives
• Anita's dimensional gloss used to trace a random up/down pattern and then Art Impressions glitter (COL?) liberally sprinkled, burnished using my fingers and set aside to dry, before brushing off the excess
• Anita's dimensional gloss used to trace another random up/down and side to side pattern before sprinkling ROXX bronze pieces which I burnished using my fingers (for maximum adhesion) before setting aside to dry
• Once everything was dry, I brushed off the excess glitter - it really DOES get EVERYWHERE!
