FLY ATC

Here is another ATC.  This did not turn out the way I imagined it in my head.  Oh well...

Watercolor pencils, paint pen, charcoal pencil

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you come again soon.

ATC

I have been cutting 11x 15 sheets of watercolor paper from a pad down to make 12 x 12 lo's...well actually 11 x 11 the 12 x 18 watercolor pads rarely go on sale (lol).  That leaves me with just the right size to make ATC's.  So, I entered this ATC in the Leftover challenge on one of the .ning networks where I am a member.

Materials: Watercolor paper, watercolor pencils, sakura pens, water brush, sharpie marker, faber castell graphite pencil, stickles

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you come again soon.

Another Vintage Woman ATC

I posted this one for the vintage woman ATC challenge also. 

The bling may not be visible, but believe me the hat has major blingage (LOL)

I cannot recall where I got this image.

The paper was found at a second hand store...I think it is wallpaper.  I just like the dimensions of the pattern.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you come again soon.

Vintage Woman ATC's

I joined a challenge to make an ATC of vintage women and their accessories.  Well some time ago my mom was ripping pictures out of a photo album that she wanted to use for 'her' pictures.  The album must have belonged to her husband's first wife, Ms Edie.  Unfortunately, all the photos were taped into the album using scotch tape.  While the tape had not started to yellow yet, it was next to impossible to remove it without ripping the pictures.  Still, I wouldn't let my mother throw them away.  I have been saving these photos for years...thinking I may decoupage with them...or find someone to tell me how to safely remove the tape.  Finally, this is how I used them (some were the perfect size for ATC's and I was able to carefully peel off the tape):

Many of the photos were not labeled.  I have no idea who these people are, but I am still  grateful to have a little piece of history.  This photo may have been taken in Atlantic City, NJ.

According to the handwriting that I could decipher; this is a photo of "Sister Inlow Thomas"


It is hard to see, but there is glitter on the palm tree leaves and around the word 'DIVA'

Materials:

Faber Castell Pitt pen

glitter gel pen

white gel pen

cs

bling

BCA ATC's

My online buddy hosted a Breast Cancer Awareness ATC (Artist Trading Card) give.  All participants were to make 5 ATC's to be given to breast cancer survivors, current fighters or honorees.    I decided to KISS(Keep It Simple Scrapper).  Here is what I came up with:

 I used all scraps for this project.  I got a bit messy with the glue, but I am not sure why.  Oh well, I must keep trying to do better.

Materials:

Recollections paper

glitter chenille stems

'You're in my thougts' sentiment stamp by Rubbernecker

EK Success square scallop punch

ATC Swap

These are some ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) that I made for a swap.  The theme was represent your state.  Delaware's state bird is the blue hen.  So, I drew a fightin' blue hen...ok so it is a chicken on crack (LOL) 

DE state colors are blue and gold

Background Says: The Small Wonder

Home of the Fightin' Blue Hens

The Diamond State

The First State

The word Diamond is glitter highlighted and the background embossed with diamonds...did I take the Diamond theme a bit too far? hahahaha

The image was cut out in a diamond shape to signify the state nickname the 'Diamond State.'  The background also says Dela-Where? because people often ask "...where is DE, what state is that in..." LOL

Recipe:

card stock white, yellow and backed with blue

colorbox blue ink

chalk: yellow and blue

walnut stain ink

feathers

blue bling

Diamond in the rough cuddle bug embossing folder

pop dots

                                                                                     glossy accents

                                                                                     gold glitter gel pen

                                                                                     nestabilities
