Ok, trying again...

This time I will try harder to post more often.

Today, I am getting inspiration from my new ATC friend, and fellow Oregonian, Diane Johnson, who makes ATCs and blogs her art daily at http://www.nwatcart.blogspot.com/

I have been making some real progress at creating my own ATCs. In the last few days, I have made 3 sets of them. To get my creative juices flowing, I started off with an easy, safe, stamped, 3D image, of a hot air balloon and some clouds. I think it's an American Crafts stamp set. I used blue ink spray for the background sy, and colored the rest with my copic markers. I also added sparkle with a glitter pen. (you can't really see the glitter on the clouds and balloon in this pic) And for the dimension, I popped up the balloon with foam tape.

The second one I did is for an Eiffel Tower ATC swap:


Here are some without the tower:


They are all a little different, but part of a "set". Technically, they are not a "set" because "sets" are supposed to be exactly the same, but I have taken the artists prerogative and call them a set. LOL!



I have also FINALLY taken pics of the canvases I finished weeks ago. I do have plans on creating more... but per doctor's orders, I have to stay away from the art supplies until the mysterious rash that plagues me, goes COMPLETELY away. ~sigh~


Thinking the Mod Podge is the culprit!


Anyhoo, here are some pics of my creations.



Simply Absolutely Fabulous
