Here's another ATC I made for a monthly swap which I do with friends. We usually swap at the end of each month but because Christmas is so hectic I thought I would make it in advance and then maybe I might start doing Christmas cards lol. My husband went to France on business today and will be away until 20th Dec so hopefully I am going to have loads of time to do my cards and challenges, that is if I am not called on to be a taxi service for my grand-daughters. Back to the ATC, the blue background is done with an acrylic dabber, cloudy blue, I then sprayed it with Crafty Notions silver, which give a cloudy effect. The wording, you can hardly see on the PC , I did on the computer, cut out and coloured with chalk. The melting snow man is a Stampotique Original by Daniel Torrente and I just love them, so quirky. I stamped him on to special white paper and coloured bits of him with Sakura pens. The sun was cut out from a Cuttle Bug folder (snowflakes) coloured with chalk and glossed with Glossy Accents and all the little snowy bits are done with the Viva pearl pen.
Love it, love it, love it, I want that stamp. Pat this is gorgeous, ca't stop smiling. xx

ReplyDeleteHe's SOOO cute, Pat!! I have this stamp and love it xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on my blog. I can see you have found life after school too!
ReplyDeleteTried to e mail you, but it wouldn't work so ...my journal is an A4 doubles spread in a spiral bound sketchbook by 'pink pig'. I don't think the extra large moleskines open up to quite this size. My squares are 4cm. You can see lots more examples on flickr - The Calendar as Art pool. Hope you can join our challenge - I must admit inch size squares would be a challenge! But you have no doubt heard of "Inchies" as art - if not try a google.
ReplyDeleteTahnks for dropping by - seasonal greetings, Jill
Your Atc is gorgeous Pat. I love these stamps too! Haven't got any yet! Hope DH got home safe with all this snow. Thank You for your lovely blog comments & the link. Wishing you & yours a very Happy Christmas & a healthy, peaceful New Year. Hugs, Gez.xx
