Totally Quanked

When I was cutting circles for ATCoins recently,

I found in my box a set of dies for hexagons which I had bought many years ago

but never used. 

Hmmm ...... "why not an ATHexagon?", I thought.  

 One of the dies is 2 1/2" which is the perfect size, so I hunted through my scrap card

and this is the result.  The background colour had been previously done by swiping card through puddles of Distress Oxide inks.

I was given this stamp by one of my friends a few months ago which I hadn't used until now, however, it's just the right size for an ATC, or in this case, an ATH.

I stamped it directly onto the hexagon, then twice more on white card.

I coloured both images, cut them out (one completely, the second one around the legs and body).

A small piece of washi tape was stuck down just under the body and wings, 

then the cut image was glued directly over the top.  

Using tiny foam dots, I popped up the body and legs over the image.

The word 'quanked' came up in my FB feed this week

and as I hadn't been feeling the best and was really tired, 

it fitted how I felt perfectly.

I reckon some obsolete words should come back into the english language,

what do you think?

Happy Crafting!
