Morning readers,
Hopefully, you all enjoyed your weekend and have arrived at Monday refreshed and raring to go .. yeah, right ... me too! Of course, who did her washing on Saturday, with no hope of line drying any of it? That would be me! Who woke up to a gorgeous sunny day on Sunday? That would also be me!! Ooopsie!
I've a make to share with you today ....... measuring just 3½" x 2½" I enjoy the small scale of them. The image panel was, originally, going to be a card topper but ...... an ATC just sort of developed.

Wonderful makes. Your card for Stamping Sensations is so lovely and has an arty feel with those black accents. Thanks for taking part.
I love the different take on the colours here, a great make again Kathy. Thank you so much for joining us in our challenge at We Love Stamping. Good Luck and looking forward to seeing you again in our next challenge. Love your second card too.

PS, I was lucky, dried a line full of towels Sunday. Just as well it's soaking wet here again today.
You've been busy, Kathy! Both are beautifully done. I especially like the golden glow behind your flower!

LOVE the chess ATC. Great image and background.
LOVE how you coloured the flower image on the card too. Really vibrant.
Thanks for coming to play in the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND. Once you’ve finished playing on the swings, meet me and Di up in the Treehouse for a nice mug of hot chocolate! xxx
I love the look of this layered ATC and the colours are great Kathy with the stencilled squares inn the background and another of the wonderful chess pieces, and then a card with such a prettily coloured CI image, and love the added glitter tape and complementary black matted layer. x
Woah there Kathy - as ever, fabulous work! How do you get the so perfect and yet the mixed up look is beyond me. Sign of a true artist! Lovely results.
Hugs

Two super makes, the first with a definite masculine feel and the second perfectly feminine and lovely contrast of colour.
Thanks so much for joining in our February challenges at Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping.
