Driving By With Get Well Wishes

I haven't had any time for crafting this week, but fortunately I had this card in my stash when I needed one to send to an uncle who had surgery on Monday.  All I had to do was add the appropriate sentiment inside, and the card was ready to mail.

I created the background with alcohol inks on glossy cardstock using the polished stone technique.  That used to be one of my favorite techniques, but I haven't done it in a while.  I think it might be time to pull out the inks again.  Perhaps after I clear the driveway of the new snow we received yesterday.  Winter is finally here!

Thanks for stopping by.  

Supplies:
Black and turquoise cardstocks by Bazzill; glossy white cardstock and very vanilla cardstock from Stampin' Up; Adirondack alcohol inks: stream, terracotta, latte; alcohol blending solution; truck, clock and pen nib stamps by Tim Holtz; splatter stamp from Artistic Outpost; black Stazon ink; walnut stain distress ink; ticket corner punch; mini black brads; pop-dots.

Paris 11 ATC

I sat down to create something for this week's Theme Thursday challenge, which is Paris, and I ended up with this ATC that is far different from what I initially had in mind.  Sometimes you just have to let your muse take you down a different path.

The base layer is white glossy cardstock colored with alcohol inks and then stamped with a French script.  The top layer is a variety of ArtChix Studio clipart collaged onto a black glossy cardstock.

Thanks for visiting my blog!
