Found Poetry Artist Trading Cards

I'm the owner and co-moderator of the artisttradingcards yahoo group.  I recently signed up for a swap on the group - "Found Poetry".  The host sent pages from a crime thriller for everyone to use for the found poetry.  My pages had a shoot out, a court scene, and a physical attack upon people for example.  Lots of swear words and other subjects that aren't really appropriate for artist trading cards, in my opinion.  I persevered and came up with some found poetry from the pages.

I

 I used some black kraft core cardstock and some papers from a Teresa Collins 6x6 paper pack for this ATC.  The woman image is from Tumble Fish Studios at the Deviant Scraps website.  I changed up the eyes with images from Tumble Fish Studio.

I used some papers from a Theresa Collins 6xt paper pack.  The images and charm are available at Collage Stuff.  The little gold borders are gold peel off stickers.

It was fun to make these ATC's.  Try found poetry!  And thanks for stopping by!

Variation on the Halloween Tag

This is a variation on the Halloween tag that I posted earlier in the week.  The background paper is Graphic 45 and the text paper is from the Chillingsworth Manor 6x6 paper pack.  Thanks for stopping by!

The September swap at the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group is a Halloween tag swap.  Halloween is my favorite holiday!  The dog and witch image are from Hidden Vintage Studios at the Deviant Scraps website.  The tag, ribbon, charms, German scrap spider web and Tim Holtz Label Letters are available at Collage Stuff.  I used Chillingsworth Manor papers that were in stock last Halloween at Collage Stuff.  If you'd like to participate in this swap, join the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group.  Thanks for stopping by!

New Digital Postcard

This morning, I woke up at like 4:30am and just got up!  I created this new postcard this morning.  It uses images from the Collage Stuff French Ephemera collage sheets.  This postcard will begin shipping with Collage Stuff orders in the next month or so.  Thanks for stopping by!

Third Altered Bingo Card

This is my third altered bingo card for the Collage Stuff August Altered Bingo Card Swap.  I used distress paints and regular acrylic paints for the background.  The sea life part is from a collage sheet that I bought on Etsy.  The mermaids are from Hidden Vintage Studios at the Deviant Scrap website.  The charms were in one of my stashes.  The German scrap fish and bingo cards are available at Collage Stuff.  I used white fish but tinted them green with some homemade glitter spray.  I overstamped part of the bingo card with a swirly stamp and embossed with gold. If you'd like to participate in this swap, join the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group.  Thanks for stopping by!

Second altered bingo card

This is my second altered bingo card for the August swap at the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group.  My attempts at making a decent background on this bingo card failed, so I fixed it by covering it up with vintage text and different sorts of tapes! The woman, "beauty", hands and legs are from Tumble Fish Studio at the Deviant Scraps website.  The text, brass corners, and vintage number stickers are available at Collage Stuff.   If you'd like to participate in this swap, join the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group!  Thanks for stopping by!
