Another ATC

 I'm back again visiting the Tag-along and ATC Challenge and this time my ATC is based loosely on the theme which is **Love and Romance** although if it doesn't fit I guess it can be another *Anything goes* I tend to forget how much I enjoy making these small pieces of art and they are a great way of using some of the smaller stamps which are often part of a larger set.  I started again with a piece of the printed background card trimmed to the correct size and over stamped with a hint of text and some coffee rings.  The sack of beans and coffee cup were stamped and fussy cut, as were the words I added as a final touch.  After all, who doesn't love coffee time??

Tag-along and ATC Challenge

 I've made a quick 'anything goes' ATC for the current Tag-along and ATC. Challenge.  I started by trimming a snippet of printed card to slightly smaller than the ATC size and stamped and embossed the cat and words.  This was then mounted onto a black ATC 2.5 by 3.5 inches and called it finished.  Not much more to say about this one - I did say in was quick ☺️.  A great prize on offer which will be handy for the winner to use in future challenges.

Card -  Spectrum Splash designed by Autour De Mwa for Aall & Create (a recent prize win)

Snippets Challenge #524

 Time to dodge the rain and dash off to the Playground for the current challenge where, as you may know, we are encouraged to use our Snippets in creative ways.  I started by making making my square card blank from a new piece of A4 white card which always leaves me with a very useful strip to use for die cutting or stamping onto for sentiments and the like.  I found a square of white in my Snippets collection which was slightly smaller than the (just under 6") square card and this was dry embossed before adhering in in place.  I was a lucky winner of  one of the bumper Christmas prizes recently and I've used some of the dies to make this card before I pack them away ready for the end of the year.  I die cut the wording and shadow using Snippets in shades of blue, followed by quite a selection of small, coloured Snippets to build up the two snowmen.  I then decided to cut two slatted circles in white  with blue patterned paper backgrounds to use as baubles to carry the snowmen, adding die cut stars at the top of each.  These dies were certainly handy for using up quite a few Snippets.
