It's Puzzling ATC Swap

At the artisttradingcards yahoo group, I'm hosting a swap titled "It's Puzzling."  At least one puzzle piece must be used on each ATC.  These are my ATCs for the swap.  Thanks for viewing my art!

Christmas Tag Swap

At the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group, the November swap is a Christmas-themed tag swap.  I used number 8 tags.  The backgrounds are scrapbook papers, vintage ledger pages, and some gelli print scraps.  The Santa images are Victorian scrap available at Collage Stuff.  The song image is from Tumble Fish Studio at Mischief Circus.  The labels are from the "Tis the Season" collage sheet from Collage Stuff.  I added bling using the green jewels or Tim Holtz mirror stars.  The ribbons and charms are also available at Collage Stuff.  To finish off the tags, I glued a mica tile over each Santa image.  Thanks for stopping by to see my new tags!

Puzzle Piece ATC's

At the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group, the July swap is a puzzle piece challenge - use a puzzle piece in art submitted for this swap.  I found a bag of puzzle pieces that I picked up at a garage sale and who knows when that garage sale was?!  I have an amazing art stash!  I covered the puzzle pieces with an image from a Collage Stuff collage sheet.  I used stencils and acrylic paint to make the backgrounds. I finished off the ATC's with a brass charm and Tim Holtz small talk word.  Thanks for coming by to view my "puzzling" ATC's! 

Asian-themed art journal pages

 For the art journal page swap for April, my pages needed an "Oriental" theme.  I used images from Tumble Fish Studio for this page.  I outlined the images with a Fude ball pen and applied washi tape as a frame.

I painted this page red and then stenciled black and silver flowers with a stencil from Stencil Girl.  I used pages from a vintage dictionary on both pages.  I glued the dictionary page onto cardstock and die cut it with a Tim Holtz die for the lattice.  The playing card is available at Collage Stuff. I applied washi tape on the left side of the page.  Thanks for visiting my blog today!
