ATC CJ – Loulou

Here is LouLou’s ATC. Her’s in the final my CJ line. I couldn’t think what to do Linda’s theme was travel and/or postage stamps. So I went with travel and stamped some postage stamps down the side. I used mostly distressing inks, stamps are PaperArtsy and Clearly Impressed. Both of which I love!

I stamped the ticket on white card and inked it brown and tore the bottom, scrunched it a little and inked the top again. The ‘keys’ tag I stamped on the same white card and just distressed it with mahogany ink, added an eyelet and a brad so that it can be turned on the ATC. I hope she likes it.

ATC CJ - Marcy

Here is Marcy’s ATC, her theme was Bright Delights. Mine is a little bit brighter than pictured here but not much. It was lots brighter but I put a pearl over the whole thing to give it some zing and shine, but it kind of dulled it a bit too :( Anyhow. I made the cardstock background used (White cardstock, and used the shaving cream technique) a dark room door set cut the frangipanis out and went around them in black stayzon to make the colour pop more and to make it stand out a little more from the base. I foam mounted 2 of the flowers. Hope she likes it.

ATC CJ - Robyn

Here is the atc I made for Robyn. Her theme was Autumn. I stamped the background using a Tim Holtz stamp and a clear ink then I pounced perfect pearls over it. Gave it a misting of water to set the pearls. I have a pallet that has re-inkers in it also has perfect pearls and I just add water when I need to use the colour so for the leaves, I rewet my orange, red, yellow and green and on a piece of white cardstock did a real wet wash mixing the colours. Let that dry, painted again, let it dry then stamped the leaves in stazon. I fussy cut those out then went over the leaves using glass bead gel. When that dried I went over it with perfect pearls to make it a little more bronze like. Hope she likes it. Click through to see a MUCH large version.

ATC CJ - De

 

Here is the atc I made for De. Her theme was Vintage Flowers. I punched out the flowers from an old book and then dyed them using re-inkers. Stamped the background using distressing ink and then put perfect pearls over it to give it shimmer. Put gold perfect pearls over the punchies. Printed an image on cardstock. Hope she likes it.

ATC CJ – Nova

Here is my ATC for Nova. Her theme was Birds or Butterflies, so I did birds, but I did give the girl butterfly wings ;) The image came from a challenge at Art Adventure. Even though I’ve missed their challenge by a few months, I still liked the image and wanted to do something with it. I hope Nova likes it.

ATC CJ - Marnie

Here is the atc I made for Marnie. Her theme was Vintage/Distressed. I am not sure that it is overly vintage but distressed it is LOL. It took ages and was heaps of fun. I hope she likes it!

I hate choosing titles!!

First things first.. Why does everything need a title? LO’s, Blog posts gah, I hate trying to think of a creative title..
OK over that.
Now I got my GREAT, AWESOME, FANTASTIC prize from ChelleBB, I so should have taken a photo, but well I was a little too excited. I ended up winning for my 10 cards as well as winning for doing all 4 challenges(I am super proud of my effort too) She gave me one of the SU sets I have wanted for like forever, the cool pick up truck set. It is just as awesome as it looks.
I have made my first card using it. It is for Avie for a Wishing Well over at Allcraftz. The second stamp set I got was the Basic Phrases Stamp Set which you can view HERE I haven’t used it yet. I have been busy catching up on swaps from when Michael’s family was here. Chelle also sent me a cardstock pack and matching ribbons, and the new SU catalogue. WHOOT! Big thanks to Chelle and to Purplescraps for another great Cyber Crop!

Over at Allcraftz Ruby is hosting an ATC Circle. This is my first atc it is for my set, the theme is Time/Vintage. The next two have already arrived, Marnie’s and Ruby’s. I have to get cracking. Will post what I do as soon as I have done them.
Thanks for stopping by!
