ATC - O

This time I chose 'Orange' as my theme.  I started off with some orange background paper and overstamped it using A Field of Sky stamp and Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink then inked the edges with the same ink. I cut the flower using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and painted over it using Spiced Marmalade Distress Crackle Paint.  When it had dried I overstamped using a Fancy Pants background stamp.

The flower is stuck onto the card using foam pads to give a little dimension.  Finally I added Card Candy to the centre of the flower and to diagonally opposite corners of the ATC.  I used orange glitter glue on the Card Candy in the centre of the flower to add some sparkle.

Watch the Birdie

I used my new Tim Holtz die to cut out the bird and the cage. The cage was cut from some Bazzill card and the bird from some My Mind's Eye paper. The edge of the card blank is inked with Timber Brown Stazon and I used the same ink and A Field of Sky stamp to create a dotty background.

The scallop circle was punched from the same paper as the bird and I punched a 1 3/8" circle from card matching the card blank to go inside this before adding the In Circle message. I finished the card off with some Card Candy.

Another ATC

This is another ATC that I made for a swap. I used Distress Inks on pearlescent cardstock and spritzed with water. The dotty background stamp is 'A Field of Sky' by A Stamp in the Hand and the main image is called Queen Anne's Lace but I can't remember who makes this. I printed the definition of 'Botanical onto brown card, cut it out and inkd the edges. The edges of the ATC are also inked.
