A Tiny Craft (ATC) August Challenge - An Ode to Lindsey

 Hello and welcome friends!

As you may have already heard, the crafting community lost a

creative soul the end of last month. Our very own

Lindsey, lost her courageous battle with cancer.

In honor of our friend and teammate, we at

A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge invite you to

visit Lindsey's blog and create an Artist Trading Card or Coin, 

inspired by a project that Lindsey made.

When looking back over her blog, I immediately knew that

I was going to CASE these artist trading cards that she made back

in February. Here is a photo of Lindsey's ATC's:

Here are the ATC's I created:

I had this cactus plant stamp set that was the perfect size for my ATC's.

Lindsey had a die that she cut the notebook page from, using watercolor paper. 

She then water colored her images. I used a border punch then used a stitched border die

 along the edge. I stamped and colored the images with my Spectrum Noir markers,

then die cut them and adhered with foam squares.

I shopped my stash for various bling to finish the cards.

Lindsey was a master at the CAS style (clean and simple), so this was

kind of hard for me to recreate, as I love to throw almost 

everything but the kitchen sink onto my projects.

Here are some close ups:

I do hope that you find some time to peruse Lindsey's blog

and create something that was inspired by one for her

amazing projects. We'd love to see what you create

linked up at A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge.

Thank you for visiting. I hope that you have a good day.

L is for Lindsey - A special tribute at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers

 Hello friends and welcome.

This fortnight at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS

we come together to celebrate the life of our dear friend and one of our own,

Lindsey, who lost her courageous battle with cancer.

Those who were fortunate to know her knew she was a great lover

of cats, books, Star Trek, Dr. Who, wine and snark. Also, she was an absolute

master of CAS cards!

For this challenge, Edna and my Sisters invite you to create a project

that is inspired by our sister, Lindsey. Whether that be an image of cats,

books, alcohol (because she loved a good cocktail too!), the color purple,

(a favorite of hers!), or perhaps to case one of her many brilliant cards,

we'd love to see how she inspired you and touched your life.

For my card, I went the CAS route (very hard for me, as I love my layers!)

and also featured this adorable kitty sitting in a box full of hearts:

Here's a close up:

The kitty and cardboard box were colored in neutral shades of gray and

brown, respectively, and the hearts in a few shades of both blue and purple.

A blue mat, a purple card base, and since Lindsey loved a good pun,

 a punny sentiment finishes my card.

I am missing my friend. Our private messages, talking about anything and

everything. I never had the opportunity to meet her in person. I actually had

 made plans in January 2020 to drive up to Canada to 

finally meet Lindsey, Donna and Barbara, 

but then Covid took over the world and screwed up those plans.

I still have every intention to make a trip up there.

(Perhaps next year ladies? If the border is open, that is!)

Please join Edna and my sisters to celebrate the life of Lindsey, and

link up your projects at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Hugs,

Joining in at Color Hues #46, who are also celebrating Lindsey.
