Friday again and .... would you just look at that, it's the last one in September!!!!

Morning readers, 

Frankly I have no idea where this year is going, doesn't seem like nine months ago it was January, at this rate it'll be Christmas tomorrow!!!! I'd best get a wiggle on with those Christmas cards!

How did you fare, during storm Agnes? I hope all was OK for you - wasn't it wet and wild for a time though?

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

My finished ATC
Materials used:
  • ATC blank
  • Snippets of card in white and (DCWV) pearl deep pink
  • Paper Artsy image (JM70 - Aug 2023 - NBUS) stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
  • Copic and Pro Marker alcohol markers used to colour with a Copic spica glitter pen to accent
  • Anita's dimensional gloss (on the eyes and lips) and crystal stickles to bling up my ATC too

I absolutely LOVE that image and the quirky little ATC you made with it. Great sentiment too.

The altered paperclip is something a little different. You'll be doing junk journaling next!

Storm Agnes? Don't know anything about her!x

Lovely quirky ATC Kathy and what a good idea to use the stamp again to alter a paper clip. xx

That's a cute and quirky image and prettily coloured Kathy, and love the way you have added this cute to a paper clip too..a fun idea! We were lucky, it got windy for a while and a bit of rain but that's all I think. x

Great stamp! I love it. Aren't we all a little wonderfully strange, at least in someone's eyes? I think it makes life come alive. Beautiful ATC and a wonderful color scheme. Stunning idea to add this amazing image of a paper clip and create a bookmark. So beautiful. I like both very much.
Thank you for participating in the Everybody Art Challenge.
