Man ATC swap

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR MONITOR!
He is actually greenish.

My friend Elizabeth twisted my arm to join a couple of her swaps this month. They are both ATC swaps. I’ve completed the Men ATC’s. It’s funny though, this is not what I had intended at all for these but my printer decided to run out of ink part way through the printout. Since the guy had this funky green color to him I figured he had to be either from Mars, nauseated or radioactive. Obviously, I went for radioactive.

Now I need to come up with something fun for the Children theme ATC’s. I have a couple good vintage child photos.

More Packing Tape Tranfers

I made these 3 yesterday.

I don’t like them as much as I do these.

Packing Tape Transfer ATC’s


I’m not a big fan of making ATC’s. The size doesn’t speak to me. However, for packing tape transfers they seem to be a great size. I found a magazine article that had the coolest background and I knew it would look awesome as a transfer.

Metal ATC swap


This ATC was made with aluminum HVAC tape randomly placed on a recycled cereal box. I then sanded it then smeared on some paint. After the paint was dry, I sanded again revealing the metal tape. I stamped the stems with Staz-on ink.

Texture ATC’s


I went ahead and signed up for a couple more swaps mainly because they are being hosted by Elizabeth, who is also hosting the 2 ABC Anniversary swaps. If I hurry, I can combine the postage and send them all together as well as get them returned together. Gotta save those pennies everywhere we can these days!!

These are made from some fusion paper I made at least a year ago. It was kind of a wild experimental day if I remember right. Never quite knew what to do with my result. This texture ATC swap seemed like the perfect answer.

The second swap is called imperfections. Meaning, go ahead and use those not so perfect circles or the colored paper that just doesn’t seem to go. Hopefully I’ll get my tip-in completed today so I can mail some packages tomorrow.

Quotes AB and an ATC

I’ve been at it again.
After moving snow yesterday afternoon and this morning, I thought I’d play a little.

First I took out watercolor paper and started making some backgrounds. I used paints, inks, gesso, embossing powder, PearlEx powder, foam stamps and papers scraps.

LAYERS, LAYERS, LAYERS.
****************

While waiting for those to dry I pulled out a book I started long ago with some tip-in from a swap. My theme for the swap was quotes. I used the book All I really needed to know I learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum as my base. These are the pages I added today. They are worked in directly in the book…not as a tip-in.

**************
After my backgrounds dried I cut them into 4×8’s for chunky book page backgrounds and 2.5×3.5 for ATC’s.

This is the ATC was made with one of my new backgrounds.
