Make it Sparkle

Welcome!

The new year has started and many ideas have been running through my head. I had the idea of creating more ATC's and doing all kinds of creative stuff. Well, at least I've started with the ATC's

At Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge blog there is always something to inspire.
In fact, one can actually peek at upcoming challenges and be ready, so hopefully I will be.

The challenge this week is 'Make it sparkle'. Well, that is quite straightforward, add some glitter and bling, and it sparkles...but, I wanted to think a bit further. What else sparkles? Eyes? Eyes seeing beautiful things or flowers or something special.

That is what my ATC is all about:

The ATC was started with a cut base card. I cut the 'eyes behind the veil' from an advert leaflet and covered the whole base. Then I added some stamping with a tiny doily stamp and Starlite Black Brilliance & Versamagic Cloud White. The ring was cut from another leaflet, but it didn't sparkle enough, so I added 3D glue and Crystal Ultrafine glitter. I punched some flowers from soft rose paper and added some glitter and rhinestones after sticking them down.  

I'm adding my ATC to the following challenge

For the Birds

Welcome!

The theme at Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge Blog for this week's challenge #88 is Birds, Nests and Eggs.

Here is another ATC made with an image from Vintage Image Craft that fits this challenge just perfectly.

This is just the prettiest poster girl advertising chocolate & cocoa! I didn't want to add much to it, just added a blue frame & some flat back pearls.

Birds & Babies

Welcome!

I've been on a bit of a roll with ATC's.

The theme at Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge Blog for this week's challenge #88 is Birds, Nests and Eggs.

While looking for images on Vintage Image Craft for an upcoming challenge I came across the cutest images that fits this challenge just perfectly.

The first ATC I made with an Easter image, probably a card. The image was printed on photo paper, then layered on blues & rust and finally on a cream ATC base. Little blue flowers cover the sentiment and liquid pearls is used for the flower centers as well as some decoration. Gold glitter is added to the spots of the eggs.

Taking Time...

Welcome!

The theme at Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge is :Take Time for you!

There is one thing that I really love doing, and that is reading. The ultimate 'Me Time' is spending time with a book, some background music and no worries about time...

My ATC says all that: The part of the clock doesn't show any time, the red music score is the music that is just there in the background, some printed text for the books and reading. The back of the text paper is a collage effect with the flowers and some text showing. It really looked pretty and creates a relaxed feeling. The sentiment is from Create with TLC.  It is the perfect sentiment for any book lover. The rhinestones signifies golden moments with my books. (I had to decide between pearls and rhinestones, but 'Pearls of Wisdom' was maybe pushing it a bit...LOL).

Well, I hope you like it:

Here are the Rhinestones up close:

I'm entering my ATC in Challenge#19 at ATC's and Cards with Attitude where the theme is Anything Goes.

Find Five...

Welcome!

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenges made me think a bit with their F is for... Challenge.

Everyone who knows me, knows that I'm a compulsive reader. I read anything & everything. Getting a challenge like this, made me grab my dictionary and read through the F words...well, I'm still busy, but I took a break and made my ATC.

I challenged my self to add Five elements/things/images that start with F.

See if you can find them before I give you the list:

Here is the list:
1. Flower (rose)
2. Fancy Font (background)
3. Feathered Friend (little bird)  - coloured with my pencils & left it unblended.
4. Fern (faintly in background)
5. Five dragonFlies (Ok, I used a bit of artistic licence here VBG)

How many did you get?
Yes, I had FUN Finding Five Falderals (fandangles, flourishes: little things) to add to my ATC.
Image is Flitter (another F!) from A Day for Daisies.

Hope you are inspired too!

I'm adding my ATC to the 'Anything Goes' challenge no 17 at ATC's & Cards with Attitude - I think my ATC has got enough Attitude to stand it's own ground.

Country Stars

Welcome!

A litlle bit of Country/Western is the theme of the ATC challenge at Wicked Wednesday.

Thanks to the Graphics Fairy I could create a little country collage  on some red paper I found at 4shared. It is called Bevs Gingham Paper.

I printed out the gold gingham paper as well as the little collage. I made my ATC from denim texture paper, added the collage, some punched stars and star beads that I distressed with black and gold paint.

Hope you like my little ATC!

That dress!

Here is my entry for the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge where the theme is Dresses/Dress Forms.

I used the Vintage Dress from Michelle Perkett's Studio who is also the sponsor this week. My colours : Red, Black & White with a touch of Silver.
