ATC's made for Anne
My good friend, Anne gave me a piece of 12 x 12 (k&co ~brianna) and gave me a challenge of making 2 ATC's using it. Here's what I came up with ~ I quite like them (for a change!) I have collaged which is something I dont do much these days. Hope you like them Anne!

Spin and Splash
Well .... had a bit of a play with my twirl and paint machine I got from the ELC ~ these aren't as bad as the first lot I did. If anyone has any tips or tricks to this technique please speak up! Any help would be appreciated. They are using different types of paint/inks ~ the alcohol inks are the first on the second row and didnt work at all!
Am I addicted....
to ATC's? I should have called my blog Magical World of ATC's. I have a few to make this week for various swaps I have joined. I have two Tim Holtz stylie ones to do for Z's swap on www.atcards.com 2 for the 'red' swap, 4 crows for my friend, Cassandra and a couple for a postage swap I am organising.
Well.... better get moving as I've not done anything creative today!

Australia ATC swap
I am joining in with a swap on an ATC forum on Yahoo groups.... I've been a member for a while now and had some lovely swaps from them. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ATCAustralia
It is a shades of grey themed swap. The top two have been done using some new stamps from Collage Stuff ~ the cemetery angels plate, 2 shades of grey inks and some charcoal chalk ink for the stamping.
The bottom two, I used the same grey inks for the backgrounds and used a couple of images that have been stamped out in grey StazOn. Background stamps are both TH ~ you can see i dont clean my stamps very well as the eiffel tower on the background has a reddish tinge to it!! lol
I thought these were due in by the end of May but I've just checked and its June! Yay! I'm in front with some swaps at long last!

ATC Challenge swap
with Shary ~ every month my friend, Shary and I take it in turns to send each other images to do a 3/3 swap ~ heres mine for this month for Shary with images Shary chose to send :-)
I used distress inks for the backgrounds on the orange and green one and the purple one for the background i used a pearl ex ink pad. And of course bits of chalk inks here and there on all three! lol
The next swap we do is the Non-Sequitur ''Memories of Italy'' plate.... so call back to see how I get on with those.
