Miniature Creations

Lately, I've had so much fun creating ATCs. I had read somewhere that once you started creating them, it was hard to stop. Boy were they right!!! :)

Here are a few I'd like to share and hope you like! Thank you for stopping by!!!

Feeling Blue - ATCs

I got a chance to get my hands inky this weekend and decided to create a few ATCs. After creating them, I noticed that the predominant color on all ATCs was blue. Not really sure why but I do like the results! :)


Hope you like them and thanks for stopping by!!!

ATC Decorated withTattered Flowers & Swirls

I'm not really sure why, but I really enjoyed making this canvas board. Why this particular board? I'm guessing that after using the Gelli Plate, I was truly inspired to create something with layers using several paint colors.

I layered opaque and metallic Lumiere paints, alternating between colors. I was also anxious to try out my new Hero Arts Swirl Stamp, boy, I'm glad I purchased it - it's beautiful!!!!! There is an ATC in the middle that has been stamped and decorated with Dresden, it sits on a piece of card stock with decorative corners. There are pieces of coffee filter that have been inked and stamped with swirls and text. There's a small piece of cheese cloth behind the Tim Holtz's Tattered Flowers and the pin has a blue-green crystal. The ribbon used to hang it up has been painted with the metallic Lumiere paint and has the same small swirl stamp as the coffee filters.

I am super excited because this is the first time that I am able to submit a project to more than 2 challenges -- YEY!!! I'm entering this 5 x 7 canvas board to the following challenges:

• Unruly Paper Arts Request for Art #2: Add An ATC
• Tim Holtz - Tattered Floral Challenge 
• Fashionable Stamping Challenge #43: Swirls
• Simon Says Stamp and Show: Chic to be Shabby

Well, I hope I haven't bored you with all my "jibber-jabber" [can you tell that "The Big Bang Theory" is one of my favorites shows? :)]. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comments!!! :)

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge - Celebrate the Season

It's Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge once again!!! This week's Challenge #71 is Celebrate the Season and we could interpret however we want. I chose "Spring" as my theme. I really can't complain because we have been lucky to have a mild winter but I still can't wait to see all the flowers and trees blooming! :)

I inked the background, added the flowers using the watercolor technique and printed the vintage image of the seed packet. I added some Stickels for a little sparkle.

I hope you like this week's ATC and thank you for stopping by!!! :)

  

Wicked Wednesday - Valentine/Love

Love is in the air and it's no exception at Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge - the theme this week is Valentine/Love. For the challenge, I'm submitting this cute little cupid waiting for his love to arrive! The background was created using Distress Inks with just a small splash of Perfect Pearls Mist.

I hope you like this ATC and thanks for stopping by!!! :)

   

Add A Charm & Seeing Stars

It's the Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge once again, and once again, I'm entering - two weeks in a row - YEY!!! This week's challenge is asking us to add a charm. One of my favorite movie stars from the Golden Era of Hollywood is Bette Davis. She was an outstanding actress and also a great role model! She paved the way so female actresses could be treated with the same equality as the male actors of their time. When I saw this cute little charm that says "Adore" I couldn't resist adding it to this project.

Two, for two!!! As it turns out, this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge is: Seeing Stars. Well, how can you have a wonderful movie star without surrounding her with STARS. Therefore, I'm also going to include this ATC in their challenge.

Thank you for stopping by and I really hope you liked this project!!! :)

 

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge - Embellish It

I'm finally trying to get back to the swing of things. Between the holidays, family visiting from out-of-town and being sick, this year has been a real slow starter for me. The only problem is that I can't take seeing all the beautiful creations everyone is posting and I have not even cleaned my craft room...sigh! So with my daughter's help, I was able to clean my room a bit this Saturday- at least I cleaned a small corner off the table so I can at least start creating something! LOL!!! :)

I had started this ATC for Wicked Wednesday waaaaaaaaay back, oh, let's just say, late last year :)  I really liked this little snail and could not just put him away. Luckily for me, I am able to use it for Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge #67, Embellish It.

I used a mask on the bottom, sprayed Tattered Angels Mist, stamped the lines, branches and grass. There is a small sentiment stamped on the piece of burlap on the left corner, which reads: Have a Good Day. It's not very clear but I didn't want to tear the burlap off the ATC and take a chance ruining it. The butterflies and flowers were created using paper that was first sprayed with Tattered Angels mist, then die cut. A blue seed bead sits in the middle of the flowers.

Thank you for stopping by and hopefully the next post will not be too far behind!!! :)

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge - Lunch At The Circus

The theme for this week's challenge at Wicked Wednesday ATC is circus fun, and boy did I have fun with this ATC!!! :) As soon as I saw the picture, I knew what the caption would read - it pretty much wrote itself! :) I painted the ATC with yellow acrylic paint, then placed a stencil and spritzed it with red glimmer mist. I printed the quote and highlighted it, as well as the picture, with a light coat of the acrylic paint.

Hope you got a little chuckle and thanks for stopping by!!! :)
