Yellow Pages ATC Swap

At the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group, the May swap is a "Yellow Pages" ATC swap meaning use the phone book yellow pages in the art.  The background is a portion of the yellow pages stenciled with yellow paint.  Victorian scrap flowers are also in the background.  The stamped images are from Dina Wakley.  They are colored with distress inks/distress crayons and a water brush.  The women images and sides of the ATC are outlined with a black Stabilio pencil.  Little dots were also made with this pencil.  Thanks for visiting my blog!

Frida Greeting Card

I just received my set of the new Dina Wakley "Homage to Frida" stamps.  I am a big fan of Frida Kahlo's work.  I had previously prepared the card background using a gelli print.  I stamped the flower stamp with Ranger magenta hue archival ink on the background and added white accents with a white Signo pen.  I stamped Frida on watercolor paper with the magenta hue ink and colored her in with various Distress Inks and a water brush.  White accents were added with the white Signo pen.  The words are Tim Holtz chit chat stickers.  Thanks for stopping by to view my new Frida greeting card.

Letter B ATC Swap

The February ATC swap at the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group has the theme of the letter "B".  I started out with an inventory tag (available at Collage Stuff) and over stamped it with a Tim Holtz background stamp.  I clear embossed the black stamped image.  Next the teal color in the corners with a Stencil Girl stencil and Dylusions paint.  I used Distress Inks with Tim Holtz stencils in the lighter part of the background.  I stamped the bird image on watercolor paper and colored it with Distress Inks.  The bird is standing on black washi tape.  I edged the ATC with black washi tape.  Thanks for taking a peek at my letter B ATC.
