For the Birds

Welcome!

The theme at Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge Blog for this week's challenge #88 is Birds, Nests and Eggs.

Here is another ATC made with an image from Vintage Image Craft that fits this challenge just perfectly.

This is just the prettiest poster girl advertising chocolate & cocoa! I didn't want to add much to it, just added a blue frame & some flat back pearls.

Do visit again!

Birds & Babies

Welcome!

I've been on a bit of a roll with ATC's.

The theme at Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge Blog for this week's challenge #88 is Birds, Nests and Eggs.

While looking for images on Vintage Image Craft for an upcoming challenge I came across the cutest images that fits this challenge just perfectly.

The first ATC I made with an Easter image, probably a card. The image was printed on photo paper, then layered on blues & rust and finally on a cream ATC base. Little blue flowers cover the sentiment and liquid pearls is used for the flower centers as well as some decoration. Gold glitter is added to the spots of the eggs.

You're Sweet!

Welcome!

I had some blogger issues last week, so I couldn't do a post for the new challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad. So it is a double this week!
Our sponsor : Far Far Hill - they have a fabulous selection of images and backgrounds. Worth the visit!
Our theme: You're sweet.

We were supplied with lovely & sweet (pun intended) images and background digital papers to create our projects. The images were mainly cupcakes and confectionery.

I tried something. I printed my choice of images onto sticker paper. These stickers I fussy cut out & added to my cards. NO Glue! The background papers I first cropped and only printed out small panels of what I wanted to use. This saved on ink! Yes, it worked so well.

Making your own stickers with coloured images really saves on time and I think is a cool way to make a batch of cards.

Here are my cards. Week 1:

Panel of background paper and 3 cupcake stickers, some glitter pen & voila! I'll add the sentiment once I know what I'm using it for!

Week 2:

Panel of background paper, Cup & Cupcake sticker, touch of glitter pen. Quick & easy once everything is ready!

It was really yummy to work with these images & papers and I will make some more of these cards!

I hope that you enjoyed this visit and will join our sweet challenge!

Another Bathing Beauty!

Welcome!

This is my third ATC for the Lunagirl Bathing Beauties challenge!

Lunagirl put a few images on her blog to add some inspiration for the challenge and this image is the one that started it for me. That is why I'm ending with this one! We are allowed 3 entries, so I will use the other images at a later stage.

It is an amusing image, rather risqué for that era, almost strange. I printed the image out a bit more saturated to pop the colours. Love my printer - can do this without touching the image as such! I like the almost garish look. It reminds me of old photo albums and old greeting cards as well.

The corners were made with gold card, the blue back was rubbed with gold metallic pastel and the gold bow echoes the bows on the girl's stockings.

I hope you will visit again!

Fly or Swim

Welcome!

ATC no 2 for the Lunagirl Bathing Beauties Challenge!

The image was supplied by Lunagirl, the little stickers from my stash, the wings a Penny Black stamp (Winged Angel - appropriate name!), the writing my own, the DP from my stash.

I always look at the collages of women with wings and I can never find what might work. The sizing was just right for this image and stamp. I stamped it 3 times, 3 different colours and in the end I really like how it turned out. I'm a bit of a CAS girl, so maybe this needs more in some peoples eyes...

Hope you will visit again!
