Colours .....

A set of ATC's for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum in the colour theme of 'Purple, Yellow & Green' .....

The bases were cut from re-cycled food packaging to 3.5 x 2.5 inches. I then chose some watercolour paper and sprayed with metallic colour sprays from Moonglow. One green, one yellow & one purple. Once dry I overstamped with an alternative colour of Versafine Clair inks and a stamp from Mama Makes.

I then chose coloured cards in the theme and die-cut an overlay (Aall&Create). These were added as shown applied with matt medium. Each ATC was edged in Krylon gold pen.

Once dry I added 3 glass tiles as shown in the same three colours to finish .....

Cats .......

Made an ATC for a Challenge over on Crafty Individuals Facebook page .......

The base is made from corrugated cardboard and cut to 3.5 x 2.5 inches. I made a background with an embossing folder and heat embossed the relief with iridescent clear sparkle embossing powder. I coloured the background with purple Distress ink which was resisted where the embossing was. This was applied the the base.

I then edged the ATC with some numbers Washi tape.

I then stamped the burgler cats and words (CI-570) in Versafine black, heat embossing with clear embossing powder. The cats were trimmed out and coloured with metallic watercolours in gold and pewter. I added some purple dots on one of the cats with a Posca marker. The cats were added to the ATC along with the words (on foam pads).

The ATC was finished with three black sequins .....

HOT ......

Made an ATC for a swap over on Crafty Individuals Facebook Group ......

The Challenge was to make an Artist Trading Card in the theme of 'Hot Colours' ......

I made the ATC base from re-cycled food packaging, and then cut a background from some CI paper. This was trimmed to size and stamped with CI-116 in Versafine black ink which was heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I then chose a very old CI wood mounted stamp CI-065 and stamped this on white card in Versafine black ink .... also heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I chose one of the 4 images of ladies and trimmed out. This was coloured with Distress ink washes in fiery colours before matting on some black card.

The embossed paper was added to the base and the whole card edged with Versamark ink which was then heat embossed with some dark red embossing powder.

I chose a piece of orange wavy woven ribbon and added at the top on red-line tape, trimming the edges. This was decorated with the three self adhesive letters spelling 'HOT'.

The ATC was finished by adding the matted lady as shown direct to the card.

I then die-cut the envelope (Tim Holtz - Sizzix) from some Kraft card to hold the ATC ....

Hope my swap partner likes it ......
