TMTA - Spring

The theme this week at TMTA is Spring. Nothing says spring to me like pretty pinks, whites, yellows, buttons and lace. Image from Lisa's Altered Art. The scan doesn't show it, but there's a finish coat of twinkling H2Os over the BG and the paper lace.

ATC - Le Garcon

I ended up doing a private trade for this ATC so I'm back to the drawing board for one for the circle mingle. :) I made this ATC for the upcoming ATC mingle on the Altered_(st)ART group. The new theme is going to be circles and/or dots. Image from Lisa's Altered Art. The crowned cat German scrap piece was part of a RAK. I used a little gold paint to accent it.

ATC - D

An ATC for a RAK. Image from Digital Collage Sheets. BG done using Bernie Berlin's Inky Layers technique. Flourish stamps, lace trim and metal initial accent.

ATCs - "14" and "Egg Boy"

Chose to work with a little different color palette on these two ATCs. Images are from Lisa's Altered Art. The star (14) came from a pizza box.

ATC-Dream Big

Image from Lisa's Altered Art. Background done with hand-drawn circles, white gesso, oil pastels, sandpaper, inks and mulberry paper (top/bottom).

ATC - Sing Your Own Song

I made this ATC for the upcoming "music" theme ATC mingle on Altered _(st)ART. Image from Lisa's Altered Art. Decorative border stamp from Limited Edition RS. Text from a dynamo label maker.

ATC - One Two 3

This is an ATC I did today for a mingle on Altered_stART. Image is from Lisa's Altered Art.
The background is another one of my gesso/drybrush/ink/paint/stamp/sand/walnut ink works.

ATC Enchanting

This is an ATC I created yesterday. I whitewashed, stamped, used oil pastels and inked the background. The bird is german scrap, but I added some black to it to darken it some. I also played with "Crackle Accents". It's like Glossy Accents but it crackles clear. I used it over the text and also over the flowers but it's hard to see in the scan.

Gothic Arch

I was trying to create a Gothic Arch that captured the theme over at the Gothic Arch Challenge blog, as well as using the Monday challenge image over on Altered Designs. I ended up designing myself into a corner because I didn't think before I glued. I really didn't want to toss this because I loved the background I did - so this was the compromise. Unfortunately it didn't qualifty for the GA challenge.

Altered Clipboard

Here's a clipboard I "altered" with some different scrapbook papers. I used black gesso on the base of the clipboard, added the papers (torn and edged w/black gesso) and modge podged over the top to seal. I added some coordinating ribbons tied around the clasp mechanism.
