A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge ~~ September

 How can it be the 15th of September already? Wasn't labour day just a few days ago? Fall has been beautiful but sadly by the time the October challenge arrives I will have closed the cottage and all my time can be spent in my craft space.  My new to me desk i
working out great, it needs organizing but when I make a card I put it on the top shelf (keeps it safe from "paws")  Since it is the 15th of the month it's a new challenge at A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge and the theme is SNARKY!!  I paired stamps from Riley & Company with Chris's sentiments from Stamplorations, added cardstock layers an embellishment and voila they are done.


Since these are retro stamps I went totally retro with Black and White. The "enamel" dots are the last of my homemade black ones. layered the images on black then on a white base added the sentiment and called them done. 

Here is the close up of the individual ATCs.


This is Coffee Lady


This stamp is called Coffee Carl


This Retro stamp is Wondering Midge 


Lastly this one is called Ethel

There are many many more Retro Funny bone stamps in their store.

V is for Vibrant at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.


Looks like Edna is seeing which background flatters her new hair colour.


Front and upper left in all it's glory is a genuine, first edition Chris. Dring Designs sentiment it perfectly paired with the Art Impressions coffee gal. As always you need to have everything that is trending and a few years ago I had to have Dylusions sprays, I bought 4 I know I made a card with the purple and have used the turquoise but the blue was still sealed and as you see didn't spray well. I always use a fairly deep box to spray the cardstock and when I finished I set the piece to dry (and warp) looked over and my "helper" was proudly sitting in the box. The background was attached to black layer and on the Green base. The image was framed and yes I see the dimensional backing now and I was way too far into the cropping, lightening, adding the watermark to start over. Those suckers stick to everything. 


Close-up of the sentiment, oh yes and the coffee lady.
