Art Deco Atc's

I made these 3 Art Deco atc's for a swap that I was in earlier in the year, fun to do !!!!
the backgrounds are all made using glimmer mists which are then stamped, gold leaf pen, images, feathers, flat backed stones, tiny pearls, ascent beads, gold filigrees and Dresden foil were all used :-)

Lock and Key Atc's

Here are another set of 4 atcs made for a group swap, the background papers are made with distress inks, stamped with Mona, the lock and keys are also stamped onto card  cutout and attached with tiny brads, I found it awkward to cut out the keyhole in the lock with a scalpel but think that it was worth it, hope that the girls liked these !!!!!

Tim Holtz

I was recently in a group swap for atc's made using at least one Tim Holtz product, there wasn't  a theme for this one just the use of his stuff, distress inks for the backgrounds  and I used a couple of his stamps, hope to get my swap returns today ?????? 

Dream atc's

Another set of atc's, these were made for a group swap they all had Dream Titles, 2 of the backgrounds are glimmer mists, 2 are done with the shaving foam technique the others are torn papers :-)

Inchies on Atc's

I had great fun recently making these inches on atc's for a yahoo group swap, it's been ages since I made inchies but as I have just signed up to make 100 for a swap it won't be long before I make loads more :-)

Wedding and Geisha atc's

Another 2 sets of atc's made for Ali's group, weddings and vintage geisha, I throughly enjoyed making these atc's,

Recent Atc's traded on Flickr

Here are a few of the recent atc's that I have traded on Flickr, I enjoy trading on there as you get to pick which atc's you would like in return, the first 3 are made using torn napkin peices for the backgrounds, if only they were real notes as I have about 10 of each and each one has 8 prints on it :-)
some of the other backgrounds are made from torn papers, shimmer mists, shaving foam, and neo wax sticks

Halloween Atc's

I took part in a halloween atc swap that Heather had organised through her blog, http://fennedwards.blogspot.com
Heather supplied the female images for us to use, these are in her freebie collection, anyway I made 2 atc's and these are the 2 that I received in return, I forgot to photgraph mine before sending them so I will have to wait until Heather adds all the witchy atc's that she received to her blog, maybe then I can copy the picture as I like to keep a record of everything that I make

Many thanks to Nancy Allen and Lindsay Mason for these lovely atc's

Belly dancer's, Atc's

Before going away I joined another swap organised by Ali, we made 6 Atc's with Music and Dance as the theme, I chose belly dancers, below are the atc's that I made, these are now with Ali who is going to swap them and then make our returns into concertina books for us, Ali puts so much work into swaps for us, for which we are truly grateful,

Atc's for Accordion Book

Here are 5 of the 6 atc's that I have made for a swap that Alison Brandist is hosting on the AATC.Uk group, when Ali gets all of the players atc's she is going to make them into accordion books for us, Thank you Ali,
I can't wait to get mine as it will be my first accordion book, I will post pictures on here when it arrives.

I did make 6 but think that I forgot to scan one of them, to much on my mind lol, the theme for these is Vintage Theatre, they are all done on chipboard and I have used, images, acrylic paints, gesso,canvas paper, inks, embossing powders, accent beads, micro beads, lace, wire, paper napkin, gold leaf pen, lace dyed with silk paints, ribbon, netting, feathers, braids, flat backed crystals, stamping, silver chain and beads plus a few other bits,

Some More Atc's

Here are some other Atc's made recently, as you can see the top 2 are made with the same stamped and cutout image, the brown is done on 2 background papers and torn mulberry paper, the word dream is inked chipboard letters, they are very thick so I cut through the layers to make them thinner, they come apart very easily, the blue one is on a collage stamped background, I used ink pads to colour this, both have inked edges to finish.



Making the one called love was a first for me as I used a thin black card to go over the base , the stamp used is a collage of words, flowers and a heart, I stamped it with a watermark ink (clear ) then embossed it in white, then coloured over the top with pearl powders, cut the heart shape out and added the picture to the back, very pleased with the way this came out.

The other 3 were great fun to make, I love these fun stamps, am waiting for some more to arrive, the ink pot lady is on a collage of papers, the pen,nib and letters are all from a different stamp,

Postage man is on a collage stamp background, coloured straight from the ink pads, he was coloured with marvy pens before being cutout, the 3rd one does not come with these legs so I used some from another stamp, the background is inked and stamped with a cracked ice effect, Great Fun !!!!!!!!
