Snarky ATCs

Hi everyone, 

The theme this month over on the Blank Page Muse blog is ATCs. 

The technique I am using to create my background has been around for a while now, but I recently saw a tutorial from Jenny Marples and she reminded me how fun this can be. 

I started by stamping my Flower Stamps from the Flower and Bird Sketches set on to a blank piece of tissue wrap.  If you are going to try this technique be sure to use a permanent ink when stamping this bit. 

Once the ink was dry I flipped my tissue over and painted the flowers using very bright colors.  I dried the paint and then stamped the Flowers and Leaves Border using a brown permanent ink. 

This is what the correct side of the tissue looks like.  Isn't that cool?!

I covered my ATC in dictionary paper.  

I glued down my tissue and then stitched around the edges.  

I added my paper doll, sentiment, and flower charm.  To complete the card I added some ink to the edges and around the paper doll. 

The second card was done basically the same way, but I didn't stitch the edges.  

 Don't forget to enter into the challenge that can be found on the Blank Page Muse blog! 

Happy Crafting,

Jess

ATC swaps

Here are a few ATC's I've made for recent swaps.
 Over at Unruly Paperarts they hosted a botanical swap.  Here are the three I made.

Over at Art Joy Stuff Kimberly hosted an Inspired by French General swap  Kimberly does three for three swaps too.  

I made these for a couple swaps I did on Instagram.

Isn't this last one just perfect for the Try it on Tuesdays 60's retro challenge?

I like making ATCs.  Tiny works of art.  

I will post some of the ones I received in return soon!

 Also Stamps and Stencils Three of a Kind challenge is up and I'd love to enter my first two sets of three into the running. 

What have you been crafting?
