DT Post for JB Crafting Supplies

Hi everyone! Hope you have all had a great week & weekend. Sorry about the late post this week - totally forgot as have been up & down to hospital as Keith's mum is in again.
So I had to do something quick - but it does show how versatile those papers  from the Forever in Time paper pad are.
I cut out an ATC from card, covered it with a piece from one of the sheets from the pad. I stamped the edges. using the border stamp from the Stampendous Fantasy Tiles stamps onto white card with burgundy ink. Carefully cut around the image & adhered down the sides of the ATC.
ATC'c can be used as toppers too.

I made a 6x6 card, picked out another sheet from the paper pad & adhered this to the front of the card. Attached the ATC using foam pads. Stamped the sentiment onto white card & matted this onto a piece of the paper matching the ATC.
Finished off with a bit of Rub'n'Buff around the ATC & stickles glitter to pick out parts of the design.
Hope you like this week's make.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,
Bev xx

DT post

Hi everyone - hope you have all had a good week & weekend. It's a sign the kids have gone back to school - the sun comes out!

Julie sent me some new stamps to play with for this month's DT work.

At the moment I am slightly obsessed with making ATC's ( artist trading cards). These are small pieces of art that you swap with people. Recently I have sent ATC's to Minnesota, USA, France and Scotland - it's great getting crafty post from far away & seeing other peolple's take on the theme.

The cards are 3.5 x 2.5 inches and are addictive once you get into them.

One of the challenges this month is to use teddy bears, so when the new stamps dropped through the post I knew what I was going to do!

The background is a Papermania 6x6 Urban stamp. 

I stamped it onto white paper using black Archival ink, adhered this to my card ATC then inked around the edges using frayed burlap Distress Ink.

The teddy & paint splats are Daisy & Dandelion clear stamps - Squeak goes decorating! 

I stamped Squeak using frayed burlap DI, coloured him in using watercolour pencils. I stamped the splats onto the background using spiced marmalade DI.

I cut Squeak out, went around his edges with frayed burlap DI & adhered him onto the ATC .

Hope you like him!

Thanks for taking the time to look,

Bev xx

My First ATC's!

Good evening everyone, sorry my post is late today.
I thought I would share with you all my first attempt at ATC's.
I needed to make some samples up for my shop as they are now in stock.
I had great fun in making them and can see I will make some more soon.

Happy crafting
Julie
