ATC Scenes

Hello Ai Fans!
This week I'm working on ATCs for my live trade group. 

  
The theme for December is acrylic transparencies.  For the trade, we make one special ATC (Artist Trading Card) for a drop card that we put into a bag and each person picks one.  The rest of the ATCs for the trade can follow the theme or go with the artist's creativity. For the drop card I'm featuring WC Bungalow (Sku#F2711).

I tore a mask from scrap paper to create a top and bottom. I then inked up the images and stamped onto white cardstock. I used the bottom mask piece for the trees and house to mask space for the snow drifts.

I laid down the top piece of the mask and sponged in the snow drifts using a dauber and distress ink.

For the next step, I added color to the sky with a blending tool and distress ink. I find when I use a light touch in circles from the outside in, I can get a nice blend as I build the color. I also like to leave a little light in my sky - not completely fill in with the same amount of color. I created a variety of day time and night time skies.

For the snow, I made random dots all over the transparencies with the acrylic paint - I just dabbed the small trip directly to the transparency sheets.

Next I added color with Tombow Dual Brush Pens. For the drop card, I added a moon with acrylic paint and a paint brush.  After everything dried completely, I then cut the transparencies into ATC sized pieces and used brads from my stash to attach the acrylic to the little scenes.

Thanks for visiting!

Take care and STAY POSITIVE!

Winter Wishes.

Hello Ai friends!  Hope you had a great weekend!  I can't believe that it's already December!  How about some winter fun?!   Check out this adorable Polar Phil (SKU#I4077), isn't he just so cute?  Don't you just want to hug him, hehe!  And with that reason, I stamped him multiple times.  

For this card, I did a little masking, I stamped 2 Polar Phil(s) on a separate piece of paper (you can use masking paper or even post-it note), then I cut them out, see below picture on the upper right hand corner.

After that, I started by stamping 3 polar bears which is the 1st, 3rd, 5th bear (left to right), then mask  the 1st and 3rd bear with the 'cut out' mask and stamp the 2nd polar bear.  Then mask the 3rd and the 5th bear and stamped the 4th bear.  To finish the card, I added a sweet Warm Your Heart (SKU#G4169) sentiment and some twine.

I hope you like it and happy crafting!

Girlfriends have fun!

Hi Ai fans!

Here's the first substantial snow arrived and you can sense that Christmas is approaching. This time I have worked with a window and taken the gelatin sheets as window glass,between the paper layers. I have colored  I the Tub U 3564 with Tombow and Distress Markers.

Small plastic bubbles as water bubbles, some flowers and swirls.

Under the hot tub, there is space to write  a message.

 Have a wondetrful weekend.
