Saturday and it's the last weekend in July!

Morning readers, 

I've a make to share with you today ....... a batch of two Artist Trading Cards, measuring just 3½" x 2½" - THE perfect way to deploy some of squillions of snippets I have in a box! I enjoyed making these two "same but different" ATC's and got to use some NBUS too - always good!



Materials used:
  • ATC blanks
  • Snippets of card in white, green and pink/white chevrons
  • Rongwrong by Hampton Arts image (SCO967) image stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
  • Sharpies to colour
  • Woodware stencil (FRST066 - Jul 2023 - NBUS) used with makeup brushes to apply Ranger Archival vibrant fuchsia and Memento bamboo leaves ink

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. NBUS - challenge No. 52 - USE NBUS
  2. Addicted to Stamps - challenge No. 451 - MAKE YOUR MARK
  3. HLS - July STENCIL challenge - ANYTHING GOES
  4. Inkspirational - challenge No. 295 - USE STENCIL/S + (optional) USE LAYERING STENCILS
  5. CraftyCatz - challenge No. 648 - ANYTHING GOES + (optional) HOT COLOURS .. I went with the hot pink!

Arrrgghhh! I knew squirrels were climbers but it had never (previously) occurred to me that they included brickwork on their C.V.!

The squirrel now known as Tom (Cruise, from Mission Impossible!)

Super ATCs Kathy, my snippets mountain just grows when I'm not looking. So many times I think I just ought to throw away the lot and start again..... but I never do. 🤣

I've never seen a squirrel climbing brickwork before! 😲 xx

Pretty ATCs. It's amazing how different things look with changes in color. While the young lady is the same the one in pink seems more "fun" and the one with the green skirt seems more "reserved". Great job with the stencilling. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Stencil Challenge.

Great ATC's and of course Tom, he's definitely an acrobat! Have a fab weekend!

Two great ATC's using this rather trendy lady Kathy and beautifully coloured and love the two different stencilled backgrounds, and I know what you mean about an accumulation of snippets! I don't think I have ever seen a squirrel coming down a house wall like that..it's amazing how it manages to cling on to this relatively smooth surface. x

You did a great job on your ATC's. The stenciling in the background makes a great backdrop for your image. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge. Barb Housner
