playdate cafe 33

 ATCs are not normally my cup of tea, but that was the size that fitted this stamp from Elusive Images- and the only raspberry card I had wasn't big enough for a card base anyway!
The image was stamped in black versafine on white, clear embossed and painted with a mix of H2O and cosmic shimmer paints; mounted on a  scrap of white, then over a torn and inked scrap of calligraphy background paper from the bits pile- think it originally came from Crafthouse Press, but it was so long ago that it had lost any label it ever had. the wall background has come out rather orange in the pic, but it is actually rather browner, even if not quite the kraft that Playdate wanted

  3. This is totally gorgeous Veronica. Your colouring of that image is wonderful. I'm always a bit daunted by colouring in that type of image even though I have it in my collection.

  7. Oh dear - who says the camera doesn't lie - I was very careful to push a lot of the mess off to the side before taking the pic of my desk today. Love your ATC that's gorgeous and very classy.
