Veggie Print ATC

 The theme for the 9ATC Group is Vegetable or Fruit Print.
I decided to try to make a roller print using corn on the cob. I spread some red and yellow acrylic paint along with some gold Lumiere Paint on a craft sheet. Then rolled a piece of cooked corn on the cob through the paints and then onto card stock.
The paint laid down was very uneven, so I decided to then use the corn on the cob as a "roller" and spread several layers of these paints over the card stock.











I got several backgrounds using this method and let the paints dry thoroughly.

Later, I used a raw piece of corn on the cob and ran it over a black India Ink pad, then rolled it onto the left side of the ATC. I then used this same ink pad to color the edges of the ATC.
I added some orange fibers and ribbon along with a small bird charm to complete the ATC:

Eat Drink and Be Merry ATC

 The theme for 9ATC Group is "Eat, Drink & Be Merry". I wanted a sparkly background, so I used two shades of yellow Distress Ink on card stock, sprayed a homemade yellow spray over the background, then sprinkled yellow/gold Perfect Pears overall, then cut into ATC sized pieces.


 Stamped "Hip Hip Hooray" and cocktail classes on the background with black India Ink. Used metallic gel pens to color in the glasses, add bubbles and highlight the words and glasses.












Added gold metallic ribbon and blue dotted ribbon tot he left side of the ATC:
