Valentines ATCOTM

This month on the Stampers Corner Yahoo group our theme for the ATC of the month was Valentines. I stamped with VersaMark Dazzles the xoxo that is in the background (hard to see on the scan) and embossed with clear powder. I cut and embossed the Cuttlebug heart and embossed that too with Dazzles. The photo is from Tack-O-Rama.

Hearts ATC

Here's what I made for the Hearts ATC TGIF mingle on the Altered Designs Yahoo group. I cut out the photo and background heart with the Fiskars shape cutter. The photo is from Tack-O-Rama, the stamps are by Inque and the collage piece by Leisure Arts.

Oh Baby ATC

The theme for a recent ATC at the Altered Designs Yahoo Group was "Oh Baby". My strange sense of humor got the best of me again. I used background and border stamps by Hero Arts. The woman stamp is by 100 Proof Press. I got the picture of the baby from Tack-O-Rama. I was looking for an embellishment and came across the "Surprise!" in the exact colors I was looking for.

Fun and Games ATCs

Like last time Sid and I decided to allow ourselves two months for the final swap of the year. I picked Fun and Games for the theme.

My first ATC uses a Tim Holtz designed, Stampers Anonymous stamp of Bingo. I colored it in with the Ranger Distress Inks and then used another stamp of just the ticket and raised it on pop dots. I got the image of the sulky lady from Tack-O-Rama and then printed up my own words with a very small font. The final touch is the bingo chip.

For my second ATC I used the card game Mille Bournes as my inspiration. The object of this game is to complete a 1000 (mille) mile journey. Along the way you might have car trouble, get a flat or be subject to speeding zones. I shrunk down some cards distressed them and glued them down as a collage. I stamped and embossed a Crafty Secrets image of a man driving and "Enjoy The Journey" on vellum to complete the card.

The last one uses another Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamp as the background. I stamped that with VersaMark and embossed with detail white embossing powder then I colored it with Ranger Alcohol Inks. In the foreground I used a Ouija board stamp StampCamp on vellum with StazOn. The final touch uses some Just Rite stamps with the beginnings of the types of questions you'd ask the Ouija board: will I?, does he? and is she?
