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.

Texture Paste ATC
The theme for 9ATC Group is Texture Paste:
We were to use any type of Texture Paste, I had Fiber Paste.
Started my backgrounds by sponging on a blue Distress Oxide ink, heat set it then sponged on a green Distress Oxide ink over a burlap stencil, the heat dried.
Next, stamped a French text with sepia Archival ink over the background.
Used a purple Distress Oxide ink over a floral stencil on the right side of the ATC. Also colored the right half of the top and bottom edges along with the right edge of the atc with the same purple ink.
Used Fiber Paste over a dragonfly stencil, applying the paste thickly, then allowed it to dry.
