3 ATC's in Spring Color


I have been inspired by the beautiful spring colors that are out in the wild and in this month's challenge. Mushrooms are amazing and tastes good.
Remember to use the code susan2016 and get 15% off your purchase if you get the urge to buy the beautiful stamps that I have used here.


I have made my own stamp with rubber bands wrapped around a piece of wood. It has been used for the grass in these ATCs, a method which I saw a blog post from England.
As a start, I painted all ATCs with white gesso, then I used the stamp set Collage Mix and Mushrooms with my chosen colors.




I have used: the stamp set Collage Mix and Mushrooms
Paint On paper to the ATC's
White gesso and sky acrylic paint from Dina Wakley
Distress ink broken china, gathered twigs, black soot, peeled paint and scattered straw
Words from the computer.

I hope you have been inspired to participate in our spring challenge and I wish you a good day
Hugs, Susan

Lovely ATC's, Susan! The text stamp in the back make them look like book pages from a nature yournal where you hand printed with real mushrooms (which is how I made the stamps - from my nature prints). The way you made the grass is such a cool idea, I have to try that! Thank you so much, darling!

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between...

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...
