Hello all. Welcome back to my little series of Artist Trading Cards. This post features number 16 of 365.
The theme for this one came from the sentiment stamp that I used and is something that we should all try and do as often as possible – no matter how hard it may seem.
The main design for this ATC was created using stamps that I got free with issue 20 of Creative Stamping magazine.
I stamped the frame in purple Versafine ink and then the sentiment in black (so that it stood out a little more).
Some shaded ink was added around the edges of the ATC before layering it up on coordinating cardstock.
I added a couple of little buttons and gems to the design; mostly because they were sat on my desk at the time, but I also felt that they finished off the design nicely.
So that just about sums up today’s ATC. Thank you for continuing to visit these little blogettes – I hope that you are enjoying them. Go forth and spread a little happiness!

Take care,
