Bright ATCs

 

These are two ATCs I made for Julie Cassidy's September ATCs swap. The theme was 'vivid and bright'.

 

To start I coloured two panels of white card with various Distress inks and then attached them to panels of black card. I then stamped the flowers and words with a black Memento ink pad or brown ink. The stamp set I used for the flowers and words was Paperartsy Jofy Plate 12. I also stamped the flowers onto a separate panel piece of per what I had coloured with Distress ink pads. I cut the flower heads out and attached them to the ATCs.

 

I drew small black dots around the edges with a fineliner. I added gems, Stickles and sparkley Sakura pen for extra sparkle. To find the ATCs I added two hearts I had made using my Meltpot and UTEE.

Sunshine and Showers

 

These are two ATCs I made for Julie Cassidy's ATCs swap. The theme for April was 'Sunshine and Showers'.

 

The stamp I used are from a set by hÄnglar & stÄnglar. I used bright sunshine colours for the cute little girls and blue colours for the boy to represent the showers. I coloured the stamped images with ProMarkers and Copics. To finish the cards I mounted the coloured images onto co-ordinating card and added ribbon and faux stitching.

Warren ATCs

 

These are two ATCs I have made for Julie Cassidy's ATCs swap. The theme of this month's challenge is Easter.

 

I used Warren Rabbit stamps from Craftwork Cards for the mian image. I stamped the image with a Tuxedo Black ink pad and coloured the stamped image with Copics.

 

I also added Glossy Accents and Stickles to the coloured images. I covered two cards with gingham paper from Craftwork Cards. I attached the coloured images. To finish I added faux stitching with a black fineliner.

ATCs

 

These are two ATCs I have made for the Craftwork Cards ATC swap. I hadn't made ATCs before but I like to trying something new and I'm so glad I did. I really enjoyed making the ATCs. I like their small size. For both cards I used Craftwork Cards Kraft card as the base.

 

My first card I called 'Flowers in a frame'.

 

The black frame is from Craftwork Cards Fabulous frames pad. I stamped the flower heads and leaves using the Build a Bloom Candi stamps. I stamped a butterfly using the Butterflies and Blooms stamp set. I attached this to the card and added Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue for the body. To finish I added Candi which I glittered.

My second card I called 'Patchwork bird house'.

 

I used Craftwork Cards Pretty Little Patterns papers for this ATC. To create the shapes I used a Birds 'n' Trees template. To finish I added faux stitching with a black fineliner.
