Actsa Artist Trading Card Monthly Swap

Image
Cheers This is a sad post for me this month as this will be the last ATC for the monthly swap at Actsa (Act Stamp Association). The numbers have been dropping so it was decided to add it to the show and Tell group but there will be no swapping. For me the fun was getting a 1-4-1 swap and seeing the take others had on the topic each month. I guess I will have to find another swap. This ATC came together fast and gave me a chance to use an old favourite from Stamping Bella called Addy Tude loves her 'tins but it's no longer available.  I coloured the image & background with copics and stamped the sentiment from the set on a separate piece of card, cut them out and used mounting tape to adhere them for dimension. Added glossy accents to the spectacles Copics:  Skin: E50,51,55. Dress & Hat: RV06,09,R83. Spectacles: W1. Stole: C1. Flowers: B23,YR07. Martinis glasses:R000. Background: B0000. Ground: E17,31,57. Stool: W3.

Let the good times roll

Outlawz Sunday Cas Challenge Friendship I have come to the conclusion that I am always going to be a procrastinator when it comes to my cards. I have a brilliant idea, (well I think it's brilliant) and of I go and then I start to think, maybe I should try this or not really happy with that. Before I know it I have completely changed it. Today was just like that. This weeks challenge is to show friendship on your card and I printed out a lovely image of a cat and a dog being the best of friends. Well this is the card that I ended up doing. A friend rang asking if I had a particular stamp and I spotted this stamp.These two girls look like they are the best of friends having a good time but it is so different to my original idea.... I am happy with it but does this happen to others. The stamp is Felicity and Blair  from Stamping Bella and I coloured it with watercolour pencils. Not quite as Cas as usual but think it still fits the criteria.
