What fun it was creating this ATC (Artist Trading Card), I used TH Distress Inks, several of Tim's stamps and the Jalopy Car small embossing folder. The cool dude came from Tim's people collections.

ATC: GECKO GALZ GEISHA GIRL Challenge
I purchased this Geisha girl from Gecko Gala Etsy store. Here is a link to her challenge blog.
This is my pick of the many pictures.
If you look closely halfway down I drew an extension of her torso and added longer yellow dangling beads with tiny flowers.
May all your days be brighter and brighter.

ATC: TH DIE MAN W/ UMBRELLA
Must say Tim Holtz's Man with the Umbrella die is by far my most favorite of all of his dies.
Each mini staple was colored black to represent falling rain. I stamped a gear stamp off to the side. I used Distress Ink Black Soot for the background fog.
Glossy Accent was also used on top of the umbrella, on his left side and a few areas throughout the background to represent the rain.
Hope you enjoyed this ATC.

ATC: STAMPOUTIQUE STAMP - Titled "Shattered"
ATC Titled "Shattered"
Clearly I was going through some serious trials when I created this. Life really does imitate art.
I used a TH clock stencil with Distress Inks.
The stamp came from Stampoutique by Daniel Torrente, sadly he no longer puts them out. Katzelkraft took some of his stamps over and they just mentioned they are going out of business.
I hand drew a heart and used crackle Glossy Accent then cut some pieces and set them up like the cracked heart was falling apart.
Copic markers used to color some of him up.
I was truly shattered but here I am standing, stronger and wiser.
Have a great day, or night.

ATC: PERCHED BIRD
Perched Bird
This bird ATC came out so cute. He was colored using Copic markers. Flying birds were from a TH stamp set. l sprayed the background first with Dylusions Mica Sprays and then used Distressed Inks.

ATC: BEE KIND
Bee Kind is my kind of ATC. Another fun project. TH Honeycomb embossing folder was used after the card was colored with DI.. Add a hand written sentiment, a few bees and a metal honeycomb brad and a Sunflower brad.
Simple and Sweet.

ATC: AHSOKA TANO - Star Wars
My next female dog will be named Ahsoka. Ahsoka Tano is a female Togruita--a sentient humanoid species. She is part of the Star Wars movies "The Clone Wars."
Yes, if you don't know me well, I am a true Star Wars fan and my grand girls all call me "Grandma Jedi."
Distress Inks for the background, I hand wrote the sentiment which is one of her quotes in the Clone War series.
The white clouds are created with Liquid Applique (another all time fave). Her lightsabers were from some watch parts, I also added micro gears to her belt and headgear.
ATC: HECKLE 1
Is he Heckle or Heckle??
I remember Heckle & Heckle from back in the day as a kid.
They were such knuckleheads and fun to watch on tv.
Background was colored with DIs, he was colored with Copic markers, white gel pen and the background was hand drawn.
The grass was made with green card stock slivered and glued.
The autumn leaves were actually not leaves at all but an old school product called, "flower soft" I still see it around.
They make flowers look real!
These are made from scrapped styrofoam which is then sprayed whatever color you want.
Hope you learned something new today.
Enjoy!! Ivy
