Been tinkering with a little something over the last few days.
Bit by bit it has come together and became something quite lovely.

Fire is the theme for the third in this mini series of Artist Trading Cards and it uses a new addition to my craft stash.
So, I haven’t forgotten the little challenge that I set myself at the start of the year and so, whilst I don’t think that I’ll make it to 365 ATCs, I’ve still got quite a few that I need to share with you before the year is out.
Today will see four themed Artist Trading Cards depicting the elements, earth, air, fire and water.
In my recent Christmas Is Coming post I showed you a project that I had made with a chipboard kit from Georgina Ford.
I also eluded to the fact that I had been working with the Poinsettia Wreath Kit, also from Georgina’s range – well, finally everything has dried and it’s ready to be revealed …
For today’s last Artist Trading Card post I have gone a little off-the-wall and headed down the mixed media experimental road.
It’s a road I veer down every now and again. Come with me if you like :)
The Artist Trading Card series of posts continues with number 92 – can you believe that I have made 92 of these little beauties already – that’s over a quarter of the way through the year?!
Despite being a little behind with getting them all complete and online I am so proud right now that I could burst!
Today’s little monster make started out with a little Color Burst from Ken Oliver again. This time though, it inspired a whole different feeling.
For this Artist Trading Card I thought that I would venture back into the realm of the abstract and colour fun.
Would you believe that this make started out with something that you would normally have thrown out?
Well, it did! Pull up a chair and I shall explain…
You all know Nigel May, Right? You know, international author, TV presenter and all round a-may-zing good guy.
What about Ken Oliver? You know, international creative entrepeneur and purveyor of Color Burst.
And me? Well, I’m just me, lol.
Anyway, pop those three together and what do you get…?
I have been reflecting on life a lot recently and have come to the conclusion that I should be grateful for a lot of things. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not been an easy ride; I’ve had my fair share of rubbish bits but just recently I am trying to make the choice to look at the positives and be appreciative of what I have so I wanted to sum this up in one of these ATC makes.
After a little rummage through my stash I think that I found the perfect set of sentiments. It was the “Friendly Advice” clear stamp set from Inkadinkado.
Had a bit of a rummage today and found a few bits that I thought would work well for a bit of a weirder take on the ATC challenge that I am currently doing.
Anyone for a cuppa?
Today’s creation was definitely a break from the norm and a little bit of an experiment and took several cups to muse over.
Until now I have only really been using the Tim Holtz Distress Inkpads to add a shade of colour to a large area, or to accent the edges of a design so I decided to sit down and see if I could make it more of a feature for a design.
