Yep, another bird swap. I’m trying to build up a collection of bird cards, so every time I see a bird related swap on the ATCs For All site, I sign up. For these cards, I used this bird stamp by “Memory Box-USA”. I also picked up these “muticultural” markers […]

“Where Readers Read” ATC Swap
These ATCs were for a fun, lighthearted swap I signed up for several weeks ago. The theme was “Where Readers Read” and the specifications said to show anything reading anywhere, just so long as somebody or something was reading a book. So they got birds reading. 🙂 I used Tsukineko permanent felt-tip pens […]
A Giraffe and Some Elephants
Have you seen this tiny giraffe baby teether from France? She is quite famous across the pond. Baby K. got his very own little “Sophie la girafe” yesterday–ooh-lala. We enjoyed watching the video of how Sophie is made, and watching K. try to eat her hooves off. Speaking of giraffes, I […]
Decorated Elephant ATCs
I usually draw out my ideas for ATCs in my sketchbook before I start on the actual cards. For the “Decorated Elephants” swap I liked the idea of looking down on the top of elephant’s head, or looking at the head from the side. And then I thought, “Hmmm.. I wonder what an elephant would […]
“Autumn Dreams” ATCs Received!
My ATCs came in from the “Autumn Dreams” swap! My collection is getting downright awesome. The first one is a mixed-media ATC from North Carolina… And then a really pretty stamped/encaustic card from Florida. The colors are SO gorgeous on this one… And then a hand-drawn optical illusion card! Doesn’t […]
“Autumn Dreams” ATCs
And just in time to switch gears for Christmas, I finished my ATCs for the “Autumn Dreams” swap. I kept them simple using mainly rubber stamps and rich ink colors of brown and red-violet: Farewell Autumn, helloooooo Christmas time! 🙂
ATCs from the “Narwhal Love” Swap
The Narwhal cards came! They’re awesome! I confess I’m completely addicted to these ATC swaps. So much so, that I signed up for TWO more: *Autumn Dreams* and *Decorated Elephants* What was I thinking? Haha! Have a great weekend!
Pop-Up Bird ATC
I’ve never tried to incorporate a pop-up on an ATC so I thought it would be fun to try! I’m still lovin’ this bird cage stamp. And when you open the little door… And I hope a certain young crafter in “the land down under” stops by, because this one is […]
ATCs for “Narwhal Love” Swap
I used my brayer to create ATCs for the “Narwhal Love” swap. To create a fun stylized look I just free-handed a Narwhal on the brayer and rolled it onto the cards. Then, using blue and purplish markers, I drew some patterns directly on the roller and rolled them over the cards, creating layers of patterns. I […]
