Wings ATC

The theme for the 9ATC Group is Wings

I choose some pink background paper to cut into atc sized cards and stamped some French script with sepia Archival ink over the surface and used the same ink to color the edges of the card

Used two butterfly dies to cut out the shapes from some previously made decorative papers and used a silver metallic ink to add a reverse script over the butterflies. Then used some previously inked text papers to cut out wing shapes, tore one edge and added to one side of each butterfly.

Used a pearl pen to color in a body to the the butterflies between the wings. Adhered the butterflies to the background paper, then used the same pearl pen to add dots to the card.

Crown ATC

The theme for the 9ATC Group is Crown

Made the heart by using a die cut to red card stock, inked an embosing folder with black ink, placing the heart in the middle of the folder and then embossed using a Cuttlebug machine

Made the background by running black card stock through an embossing folder in a Cuttlebug machine, then sanding the raised design to expose the white center

Finished the ATC by attaching the heart to the background with a brad which had been hammered, adding a cut out crown from a background paper, then using a dyno maker with black tape to add the word "Tarnished" to the ATC, and layered onto red cardstock

On both I stamped a flourish image with peacock feathers Distress Ink and let dry. Layered the smaller piece onto a slightly larger copper paper and then onto the bigger piece. Cut out a woman's image from background paper and a pink lily decorative sticker and adhered them to the smaller paper.
