I Want to Get Away ATCs

The February swap at the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group was an ATC swap with the theme of "I want to get away!"  This is my entry.  The background image is from the Collage Stuff "French Ephemera 2" collage sheet.  The couples image is from the Collage Stuff "French Ephemera 3" collage sheet.  The gargoyle image is from the Collage Stuff "Gargoyles Minis" collage sheet.  The Eiffel tower image is from the Collage Stuff "Vintage Paris" collage sheet.  A red Marlowe's theatre ticket (Collage Stuff) is at the top left.  The Black Leaf Corner German scrap, Black Fleur Border and Paris Clock button are available at Collage Stuff.  The Paris word image is from the Collage Stuff "artwords" collage sheet.  So...where I would like to get away to is to Paris.  I'd love to visit the old cemeteries, churches, monuments and revel in the architecture.  Thanks for stopping by!

Paris Chunky ATC

I'm still making chunky ATCs.  This isn't much different than making regular ATCs.  It's just that the design goes down on a wood block.  I used some new "feet" that I got in stock at Collage Stuff.  I find these much more stable and sturdy than the dice I've used previously.  The dice do add a nice touch of whimsy, but make the chunky ATC sort of unstable.  I used images from Collage Stuff, Tumblefish Studio at deviantscrap.com and from Crow About Studio B at deviantscrap.com.  The embellishments are from Collage Stuff.  The wood block is from Collage Stuff.  I took probably 50 photos to try to get some that looked like the real ATC in person and none of them are quite right.  It's much more vibrant and clear in person.  Try your hand at a chunky ATC!  At the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group, there is a chunky ATC swap going on.  There's plenty of time to participate!
