ATC: TH JALOPY & TH DUDE

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.

Hope you like this as much as I did creating it.

 

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.
