TGIF! It's also St Patrick's Day

Morning readers, 

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who celebrate it

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

ATC made using a background of D.O's
Preparing to make my background

Materials used:
  • Watercolour paper background made using Distress Oxides in kitsch flamingo, festive berries and antique linen .. I used several "snippet" pieces to  make a few ATC's
  • ATC blank
  • Kaisercraft images "Grid" (2011) and "script" (2014) stamped using Memento gray flannel ink
  • Hampton Arts wood mounted sentiment (DF2193 "Art and Soul" VERY old, probably pre-2008 as that's when I started recording my stash purchases) stamped using Versafine Clair
  • Studiolight border image (SL454) stamped using Adirondack cranberry ink

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Retro Rubber - challenge No. 202 - ANYTHING GOES BUT MUST USE AT LEAST ONE STAMP ONE YEAR OR OLDER

A wonderful smooshed background on this ATC Kathy and I love the two different stamps for the background, and also the Studiolight grunge border which works brilliantly around the edge, and a super sentiment used over the top. Congratulations on being a Top Pick over at QKR Stampede with another of your great ATC's.
