Morning readers,
I've a make to share with you today ... an Artist Trading Card (measuring just 3½" x 2½") containing NO STAMPING!!! That's almost a record for me although, that said, my last card did only feature stamping on the inside!!!!
 |
| The colours are more vibrant on the black background but more elegant on the white linen card, which may be seen here |
Materials used:
- ATC blank
- Snippets of card in white and black
- Using Perfect Pearls mica powders(pewter, perfect gold, blue smoke and plum) and water, I "smooshed" each colour separately, allowing drying time between coats
- Tim Holtz Idea-Ology "small talk" sticker, mounted on white card - to give more separation from the black/mica
I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
- Pattie's Creations - challenge No. 221 - ANYTHING GOES
- Pammie's Inky Pinkies - challenge No. 2432 - ANYTHING GOES
- Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - challenge No. 235 - ANYTHING GOES
- Crafters Cafe - challenge No. 311 - RAINBOWS/LOTS OF COLOURS
- Ally's Angels - challenge No. 85 - ANYTHING GOES
And now for a card, feels like it's been ages since I have made a card, though I realise it actually hasn't been THAT long!!!

| My C6 card |
Materials used:
- White, 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
- Card in white and turquoise
- Snippets of card in black, white and turquoise
- Unbranded floral die used to cut silhouette from black snippet
- WRMK banner die used to cut banner from white snippet before mounting on to turquoise and using a ceramic craft knife to cut around it (the next size banner die was too large for my needs)
- MFT wonky rectangle die cut from white snippet and floral die cut attached
- Visible Image sentiment (from VIS-HAP-01) stamped using Versafine Clair warm breeze ink
- Elsewhere on my card and envelope I used a similar floral image (from PMO554) stamped using 1st (and 2nd) generation images from Versafine Clair nocturne ink

Love the smooshed paint effect on your ATC Kathy, and it’s a very elegant CAS card using one of my favourite flower dies.

Fab non-stamped ATC and a lovely birthday card.

The Perfect Pearls look equally beautiful on the black card Kathy, but totally different and love the sentiment, and the black silhouette flower looks great on the Wonky Rectangle and interesting with the blue and white of the banner, matted layer and sentiment. x
Beautiful silhouette card. The black flower really pops against the white background. Love the accent teal color and great use of your die cuts. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above's August Challenge.
Such a pretty card in silhouette mode! A fantastic use of those dies. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at A Cut Above, I hope we see you back again soon!

Both your makes today are fabulous. Fun technique and a galaxy feel on your first card. Lots of white space on your second to let the focal image be the star. Love that you stamped the inside and envelopes as well. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful CAS cards with us at The Krafty Chicks Challenge! So nice to see you in the gallery.
