INKY FINGERS

Just indulged myself in a KCUK ATC swap :-)
It’s black and white and a touch of colour – and it really is just a touch of colour. I’ve entered these into Theme Thursday’s ATC challenge.

  

  

Thank you to all who have left comments and especially for the New Year wishes!  Gosh, I really have missed you all :(
As promised.  This month’s ATC theme for KCUK is pink and brown and here are my offerings – very simple!  I used Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick inks (with a bit of Antique Linen and Versafine Vintage Sepia)  but neither camera nor scanner could find them.  I’ve tried to tweak a bit but can’t get the colours right, so you’ll just have to imagine, he, he!

Staying with the ‘one colour plus white’ theme because it’s easy and quick.  I feel guilty for making such simple cards and ATCs – I like to put a bit more work into them, rather than simply stamping and layering, but hey ho!  Needs must when time is precious…  These have all been clear embossed, then most of them have been cuttlebugged, lol ;)

I’m in an Oriental ATC group, so I made a few quick ATCs to send off to the girls on there.

Just done some ATCs for a KCUK swap. Made a ‘mickey’ with one of them so it became a card for Dot, who’s hosting the swap…

My scanner doesn’t do 3D very well (yes, the charms make them 3D – duh!) so they do look better IRL – as do the gold edges and additions. Haven’t done Egyptian for years and enjoyed it. I even dusted off (literally) my Twinklers for this one – haven’t used those for about 4 years but they’re perfect for this, as they shimmer like sand.

I’m hosting an ATC swap and just did mine (they were due by the end of the month, so only one day late, lol – early for me!) so here they are. I’m not over impressed and really didn’t colour them well, at all. This was the second batch, too – I binned the first lot. WAY too lot and a long time since I stamped – amazing how you lose that ability to know what to put where when, if you don’t keep it up.

I was late with the February Romance ATC swap (wot? No surprise???) so I had to do these very quickly. I've used backgrounds I'd already made.
