Precious Girl ATC

Hi, everyone!  Today's Friday Free4All Challenge is to create a night-time scene, with a bonus of sparkle.  Once again, I remembered an ATC which I made many years ago but never posted anywhere.  The moon and stars are highlighted with a glitter pen, but the camera angle did not catch the sparkle.  The little girl and sentiments are from the 'Precious Girl'   set from Our Daily Bread designs.  Her nightgown was paper pieced with designer paper and the rest of the scene was colored with sponges.

Thanks for stopping by!

Taste and See - Chocolate Chip ATC

Hi, everyone! Today's Ways To Use It Challenge theme over at Splitcoast is 'Cookies'!! Though I did not have time to create something new before work, I remembered that I had never posted this ATC card which I made about eight years ago when I worked for Christian Paper Crafts. The scripture verse is from a set from Our Daily Bread designs, called 'Fruit of the Spirit' and the chocolate chips are from a Stampin Up wheel stamp. A scalloped punch was used to 'take a bite' out of the cookie. :)

Thanks for stopping by today!

ATC Inspiration x 2!

Hi, everyone!!  Happy Saturday!!  Saturday morning is my fave time to stamp and this week's Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast was just what I needed to get my gears turning.  There were so many interesting ATC's to choose from the gallery at the ATC's For All site, so I made two cards with two totally different styles.  First, I chose this beautiful vintage Iris ATC (Artist Trading Card) and re-created an ATC sized panel as close to the original as I could....I was lucky enough to have the same woven trim in my stash....yay!!  I didn't have a script-type background stamp so I used a partial piece of a pattern from the "Blushing Rose Designer Paper Collection" by Our Daily Bread designs, along with the sentiment and image from the "Iris" set.  The iris was stamped, colored with markers, then fussy cut and adhered to the script background.

My second card was inspired by this rainbow colored ATC.  The sentiment panel was cut to ATC size (2-1/2 x 3-1/2) then was colored with sponge daubers and ink pads, stamped with the sentiment from the ODBD "Sentiments Collection 2" set, matted, paper pierced, then I sprayed Pearl Glimmer Mist point blank in order to create a splotchy, mottled look.....hard to see in the photo. It was then popped up with foam tape and some "Rain Dots" were added on the corners. (The Rain Dots have been in my stash for about five years....bought them in Pigeon Forge at the Scrapbook Superstore when I was on vacation.)

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Have a blessed weekend!!
