Steampunk Dreams...




Another one of my favorite themes is steampunk! I wanted to do something more romantic for this set, these three ATC's are the result.

Once again, most of them were created simply with pre-cut images I found at my local scrapbook store. I then used various Distress Inks, Perfect Pearl Mists (or mists that I create myself), stamps, and embellishments. I then used a gold gel pen to highlight certain aspects of the ATC. The backgrounds are various 12x12in paper sheets I thought would coordinate with the images.

From top to bottom the titles are: "Memorabilia in Steam," "Steampunk Romance," and "Steam Goddess." I hope you enjoy! Until next time stay warm and happy crafting!

Faerie Fantasy ATC's...






I have been busy making ATC's and as you can see I have been on a faerie themed journey lately! There is also a cute Beatrix Potter one in there too.

These ATC's are fun, whimsical and just a joy to make. I hope you enjoy them too. Most of them were created simply with pre-cut images I found at my local scrapbook store. The images are from Graphic 45 a branch of Mind's Eye. After finding the images I just use various Distress Inks, Perfect Pearl Mists (or mists that I create myself), stamps, Stickles glitter glue and embellishments. I then used a gold gel pen to highlight certain aspects of the ATC. The backgrounds are various 12x12in paper sheets I thought would coordinate with the images.


From top to bottom the titles are: "Spring Rose Revisited," "Springtime," "Catching Up," "Woodland Faerie," and 'Daybreak." ATC's are fun and fun to trade. If you have not tried making any yet there is always time to experiment, play and learn! Don't be shy, create a little faerie magick of your own!

Until next time, Happy crafting and swapping!
