Purple Unused Stash ATC and Card

 I haven't joined in with the Clarity ATC swap for a while, but decided to jump back in with the start of 2025.  It is the year of colour over on the Clarity website, so this month's prompts were purple and never previously used stash.  I used a stamp set that was newly delivered and a couple of New Design Club stamps that I have never used before.

Stamp the ATC stamp onto the back of a Clarity ATC blank.  Add the name (bespoke grunge stamps) and the date using a date stamp in Deep Purple archival ink.

Blend Milled Lavender and Victorian Velvet Distress Oxides over the front of the ATC.

Add the ballerina (NDC #44) in the same purple archival ink as the back.

Create a vignette, using NDC # 79 in second generation Violet archival ink.  I held the stamp in my hand and stamped off the edge of the ATC.

Go back round the edges in the same manner using Cactus Flower archival ink this time.

Finish the vignette frame using one of the butterflies from the Summer Build a Wreath stamp set on a round stamp pen in first generation Majestic Violet Archival ink.

To finish the ATC, add one of Barbara's words stickers.

For the card I added green foliage and more of the Summer Build a Wreath stamps. 

Add a verse stamp (discontinued) into the centre of a small piece of Clarity stencil card in Deep Purple Archival ink.

Mount various stamps from the Summer Build a Wreath set onto Clarity stamp pens.

Add flowers round the edges of the topper in various shades of purple archival ink using both first and second generation stamping (Dusty Concord, Villainous Potion, Violet, Deep Purple, Cactus Flower).

Add foliage in shades of green archival inks (Peat Moss, Library Green, Leaf Green).

Finish the topper using the same butterfly stamp and ink as used on the ATC.

Die cut a mat from Indian Summer companion paper using the 3.75" nested squares picot die and mat it up.

To finish, add to the front of a 4" x 4" white card blank.
