This Groucho...


Marx quote was just the thing to make a fun arty ATC. The banana made me think yellow, so out came my yellow Dylusion ink spray and a quirky zebra print mask. I used several of my newly carved stamps on this ATC stamped in black Staz on and yellow Brilliance ink.


As luck would have it when rumaging for old ribbon I found an oddment of yellow ribbon when matched perfectly! The layout almost makes me think wrist watch now I look at the photo and what a fabulous wrist watch it would be in real life!

 
I designed this ATC with following challenges in mind:
Anything but a Card: Ties it up
ArtfulTimes: Call Time on ATCs
Shopping your Stash: Use your oldest ribbon
So Artful: Time or Neutral (I went for time...definately NOT the neutrals!)

    Wouldn't that be a fab watch? I would definitely wear it! Love how this funky card turned out :) And that quote - one of my favourites! My very favourite?
    "Outside of a dog, books are a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
    Ah, Groucho :)
