In no particular order, here are some ATCs.
Once Upon a Story with Graphic 45. I love fussy cutting and I really enjoyed making this one. The wings on the butterfly have Reneaboquets Shattered Glass glitter. It's a little hard to see in the picture, but the fairy wings have dots of brick colored embossing dots. I loved how the wood grained scrapbook paper (I think it was from Michael's) adds to the rest of the ATC.
Grandmother and Smiles. I made these specifically for a crafter that I swapped with who was also a grandmother. I wanted them to be somewhat matching, but also unique. The papers were just scraps from my stash. The Yellow flower came from a Quick Quotes kit that I took apart. The black and gray flowers are from Michael's. The butterflies are stickers that I added to cardstock and then cut out. The black and white mini hearts were scraps from another project where I made a heart boarder. I thought, "well, lets keep these, I cold put them on something." I am very much a, "waste not," boarding on hoarder type crafter. Sometimes it makes my craft room a pain to organize, other times it works out.
Graphic 45 Mime. The original paper I got this from (Graphic 45) was all monochrome. I wanted to play with my Chameleon Pens. I colored all of the yellow and the red. The little black flower was just something from my stash and the Admit One charm is from Tim Holtz. I just used some jeweler's wire to make it a small necklace. The little ticket is 7 Gypsies. I was happy with how this came out and I hope to use my Chameleon Pens more in the future.
This is a quick one I put together for a girl on a house cleaning and organization group I have tried to get going on Facebook. I thought maybe a little incentive to get some participation. The recipient put pictures of her kitchen in my group so I tried to match colors on a sign she had hanging up for decoration.
Love and more Graphic 45. I had some Valentines papers and was sending cards to a recipient who had recently gushed about how supportive her significant other was of her crafting. So, I made her some grungy romance ATCs. The butterfly and rose come from Michael's generic embellishments they sell in their discount area. The background of the Love (only) card and the little clocks come from Tim Holtz.
A peek-a-boo tree, This one was experimental for me. The tree is hand drawn on spray misted ATC canvas. The tree was drawn with a Chameleon pen. I did draw the tree in it's entirety before overlaying the simi-transparent paper. You can see the tree behind the paper a little better in the actual piece. I am still working on that art photography thing. This probably would have worked better and more dramatically on a larger canvas. Working with the wire in such a small setting was pretty challenging. I am pretty happy with it, though I can't say it's a favorite of mine. I will probably redo with more details on a larger canvas at some point.
My first ATC. I really wanted to add some hand painted and slight surreal feel to it. I added some bits from an ephemera pack I had bought and sent it along. The recipient seemed pretty happy with it. I want to add painted elements and more surrealism to ATCs in the future. So, stay tuned.
