The first ATC was inspired by a trip to Tuesday Morning, where I found a Heidi Swapp set of acrylic butterflies and some pink tags. The butterflies had patterns of pink flowers, scripts and blue stripes. I ended up, once I stamped and added color, cutting the tags down to ATC size using a die I also found there. I added stripes using an Altenew blue spray and stencil to tags. I turned the stencil over with spray still on the stencil and stamped it onto white watercolor paper. I used that to stamp the butterfly from Unity’s 8/17 KOTM. I then stamped the script from the 11/16 SMAK kit onto the tag. To make the acrylic butterflies stand out, I painted the back with white acrylic paint. I added Washi tape down the side. I stamped and embossed the sentiment onto vellum. I outlined all pieces using a pink glittery Spectrum Noir watercolor pen. To complete the ATC’s, I added string and ribbons, large crystal dots I picked up in a Brutus Monroe Mystery Box (they are lovely), and regular pinkish crystals.
Because the first ATC was over the top I wanted to have a one layer look on the second. I recently received an order from Joggles, which came wrapped in beautiful silvery tissue wrapping. I desparately wanted to use it. I also had just received my Layers of Life February Unity Kit. I ended up using the mini flower stamp and one of the sentiments. To create this one, I stamped both onto cut down watercolor paper. I then painted it using my Gansai Tambi watercolors to match the colors in the paper. I then tore up pieces of the paper and used an Extreme Glitter ModPodge glue. I then used a Bo Bunny silvery blue paste and a stencil to add some texture. I loved how simple and colorful it turned out.
Well, that’s it for today! Till next time, happy crafting!
