Morning readers,
Well! What about Storm Isha and now Storm Jocelyn? I hope you are all keeping safe, warm AND dry! Take care out there.
I've a make to share with you today ....... a themed Artist Trading Card - again the theme of "DUCKS", now I COULD have used another image from the fab Aall & Create set I used recently but, no, I thought I would see whether I had another ..... and I found this little cutie, from Inkadinkado.

| My duck themed ATC - measuring just 3½" x 2½" |
 |
| A closer view of my little ducky |
Materials used:
- ATC blank
- Snippets of card in white and "duck egg" blue
- Inkadinkado duck image and sentiment (from97647) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
- Faber Castell Polychromos pencils used to colour my image
- Using a makeup brush and Memento Bahama blue I applied my ink using my Clearly Besotted "clouds" stencil, for the background
I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
- Critter Crazy - challenge No. 82 - ANYTHING GOES (with a critter)
- Stamps & Fun + Creativity - challenge No. 446 - ANYTHING GOES
- Pammie's Inky Pinkies - challenge No. 2403 - ANYTHING GOES
- Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - challenge No. 222 - ANYTHING GOES
- Creative Fingers - challenge No. 269 - ANYTHING GOES
And now, a card, one of those which we crafters hate to make but, all too often, find ourselves in need of. I've had occasion to send out two of these lately and felt I should make at least one .... whilst I had no imminent need. I find them easier to make when I don't HAVE to make them. This was so weird to make as I actually woke up with this card in my head .... now, what ever must I have been dreaming about?

| My C6 card |
Materials used:
- White, 250gsm, C6 card and matching envelope

- With the mask still in place, I stamped my Magenta image (23640-H) multiple times, using Versafine Clair nocturne ink (on my insert I used Versafine Clair morning mist ink)
- Unknown manufacturers sentiment (though I've sadly discovered it to be a Stampin' Up knock off - despite purchasing in a craft store!!) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
- Elsewhere on my card I also used a sentiment from MFT (CS.2794) also stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink

Cute ATC for the duck theme.
Lovely sympathy card too. Strikes just the right tone xxx
Hi Kathy I enjoyed seeing the duck ATC, very cute and what a lovely clean card for a sympathy card and I agree having them in my stash when needed is the easiest.
Thanks for playing along with us at AAA Cards this week and hope the sun shines soon.

I love that cute duck Kathy, and a perfect cloudy sky background, especially as you used 'duck egg blue'..lol. I think the sympathy card is perfect with the pretty flowers within that soft grey circle..in fact at first I thought it was more of a soft creamy yellow colour, but photos often make things look a bit different. x
A beautifully designed sympathy card with a lovely sentiment.
Your duck ATC is brilliant and made me smile.
Thank you for joining in at Fab'n' Funky and also at Crafty Catz
