Six Plus One ATC "Elements"

Artist Trading Card for Swap-bot.

We had to put 6 elements on

A heart, a crown, something purple, a person, a musical instrument, and a flower.

Then the "plus one" portion was adding our own element, I added a brad on the crown and some perfect pearls dots.

"Plenty of Fish"

Sticker ATC, YES an Artist Trading Card that actually calls for stickers.

Vintage ATC with a flower for Swap-bot!

Black and White ATC

Another Swap-bot ATC that I will send out this weekend!!

This one was challenging, I've never worked in B&W before so coming up with an idea was tough.

Yellow Owl ATCs

Another SWAP BOT!!  For the background, the tree bark is quite 3D.  I used white card stock and a wood grain embossing folder, then used distress ink and copic markers to color it.  Then put dabs of crackle accents to make it look like tree sap.

Daisy ATCs

My Pet ATC for Swap-bot

This one was fun to make because it has my babies on it!!!

SMILEY FACE ATCs for Swap-bot

Again!! I made the first one (the flower one, and I didn't like it), so I made the one with the musical note, and liked it a lot better.

I think I'm having artist's block even though I don't consider myself an artist

.

ATC Swap - Stained Glass

We were supposed to make an Artist Trading Card that looked like a stained glass window.

Ok, so I made the first one (the building) and I didn't like the way it came out.

SO I made the second one which I didn't love but it was better than the first, my partners will get 2 in this swap since.

I know 2 wrongs don't make a right, but by golly!! This one baffled me…

For the second one I ended up taking a punch and punched out a flower on glossy card stock, then cut up the flower into pieces, took each piece and dropped alcohol ink on each on in different colors (this caused some of the ink to "pool" at the edge of the piece which was good.  Then I pieced everything back together and used liquid pearls in silver as the "solder" in between the glass.  Then added glossy accents on one and crackle accents on the other to give it more of a glass look...it was more time consuming than it looks like.

Where in the World Are You? - ATC Swap

The Artist Trading Card rules were that it should be inspired by your home town.

Toledo, WA is one of the "gateways" to Mount St Helens.  This barn is a historic landmark, I can see it from the end of my driveway.

Sorry for the fuzzy pictures, I think it's time for a new camera..

WInter ATC Swap at Swap-bot.com

Another Artist Trading Card

I got the same gal for two winter swaps so I had to alter a nightscape ATC by adding wintery snow and ice.

I hope my swap partner likes it!

Decorative Tag Swap on Swap-bot

This is my second decorative tag and I had 3 partners.  I made extras for private swaps.

My 3 partners were all international so I was very excited to send them out today!!

One to South Africa, one to Italy and one to Canada, woo hoo!!
