GLOBAL WARMING ATC


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.

  5. Tried 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.
    Tahnks for dropping by - seasonal greetings, Jill
