ATC Swap May 08 At The Grind

The single ATC is a digital image found on the internet, stamped over with a Paperbag Studios rubber stamp in black dye based ink. The 4 blue buttons are glued in the corners. I really like this one so it may not make it into my swap binder. If I get a second one done before tomorrow that might be put in for swapping.
The same digital image used with a piece of film negative, slide mounts stamped with Stazon ink and stamped with background stamps. These photos can also be seen on my Flickr Photos.

More May ATCs

I worked on these ATCs back on about May 6 so now I'm just getting them posted. I started with unused flower gift cards and re-purposed them for the background. The "Boy" one has a collage image from Quientfire Design and the lettering is purple cardstock run through a Dymo labler and highlighted with white stamp pad ink. The red button was glued on. The "Girl" uses another Quietfire Design collage image and the word sweet stamped with an alphabet set in metallic pink ink then a pink button was glued on.

I haven't posted for a few days, but I got 1 more danglie made on Sunday. I won't show you that, it's pretty much like the others but has a different photo. I also got 3 ATCs done. This is for the April 2008 swap and the themes are pink and time. The girl is a digital image found on the internet and I printed on a shaded pink to lilac background. I added the pink cheesecloth with matt medium then glued the pink seed beads on.

Byhand Challenge Buttons

This weeks challenge is to use buttons, so I made an ATC using my rose photo with a canvas filter, mounted on black cardstock and glued 3 buttons on. This time I did the whole card myself, even to getting the back on a little crocked. Can't blame anyone else, but maybe it will be my left handed art signature.

Playing With Some Floral ATC

Well here I am with more left handed creations, this time I'm using my digital photos and filters in editing software. The first ATC is a pink rose, cropped and stamped with a Quietfire Design quote stamp. The second 2 are photos of lilacs using several filters and digital effects and my poems. I finished off with purple and pewter foil. Some of these will go to the Grind swap tomorrow and some I hope to mail in time for the Byhand Artists monthly swap.
