New beginnings...

... is this week's theme for Florrie's ATC challenge over on Craftswap Forum. I've called this one "First Day at School". Stamps used here are by Tim Holtz and Paperbag Studios.

Anything Blue

Two challenges with one ATC! I've gone for economy of effort this weekend - the theme for Florrie's ATC challenge on CraftswapForum was 'Anything Blue', and the Fab Friday challenge on Leonie's blog was 'Tone on Tone' (only one colour can be used, but different tones). All the stamps are by Art Journey, the background and most of the stamping were made with chalk inks.

CSF ATC Challenge week 106

I was invited to set Florrie's weekly challenge this week on Craft Swap Forum and I chose 'Geometric Shapes'. Here is the ATC I have made for the challenge - as I have been making triangular cards this week I decided to stick with the theme! The backgrounds were created with a mixture of Distress Inks and Ranger Colorwashes and then stamped over using rubber stamps by Hero Arts and Stampers Anonymous. I decided to add a smaller, inverted triangle on top - this was stamped with one of the new Laura Ashley range of clear stamps. I must confess that I have really enjoyed making triangles! It is a smaller area to work on but you can have things hanging over the edge and still keep within the regulation ATC size. I made the two Inchies with bits left over.

CSF Blog Challenge

This Skinny was made for the latest Craft Swap Forum Blog challenge - the themes were Passion, Presents or Punctuation! The backgrounds were made with Distress Inks and gesso, and the stamps are by Tim Holtz, Clarity Stamps and Hero Arts.
