One Letter,Number, Color, and Image ATC

 The theme for 9 ATC Group was to choose One letter that was used for one number, one color and one image. I came up with S for Six Silver Sandpipers.

Used a die cut for the "6" cut out of flashing tape, and layered a variety of silver colored papers/card stock, and stamped an image of 6 sandpipers with silver metallic ink.

Window ATC

 The theme for 9ATC Group is Windows. I rubbed brown dye ink over a birch (wood) ATC. Stamped a window image with brown dye ink, then cut our the "glass" section. Layered this over glittery butterfly paper. Added a butterfly sticker to the upper left corner of the window. Stamped the words Go explore with black StazOn ink.

Charm ATC

The theme for 9ATC Group is Charms. I made my charms with fragments. Started by cutting down a salt resist background I had previously made using Kosher Salt. Stamping the words "dream" and "believe" with black ink and adhering a fairy image.

Glued this to the back of a Tim Holtz Fragment, then added a small rub-on flower and a tiny blue rhinestone.

For the ATC background, repeatedly stamped the same leaf image with an assortment of green Distress Inks and gold and bronze metallic inks. Inked the edge of the card with a dark purple StazOn ink.

Adhered the charm to the ATC with a bronze colored brad. Used a Dyno Maker to create the letters of the word "inspire" and punched the letters out with a round punch.

 

Circle/Swirl ATC

The theme for the 9ATC Group is Circle/Swirl. I decided to use the Bokeh Technique for my background. Started by wiping 3 different shades of blue dye inks over the background (direct to paper) and let it dry.

Used a round sponge to add two shades of purple dye ink and dabbed with a damp paper towel to soften the color a bit and let it dry.

Then I used white pigment ink to sponge onto the background over a circle stencil and used the eraser on the end of the pencil to add smaller circles to the background and let it dry (this is the last step of the bake technique).

Used a violet Distress Oxide ink to stamp a circle and swirl flourish image over the background and heat set it.

Used black StaZon Ink to stamp on a different circle swirl flourish and a dragonfly image. Used this ink to also ink the edges of the atc. Used a purple glitter metallic gel pen to add a dotted border around the edge. Adhered a purple "pearl" at the bottom of the flourish image.

 

Mica Powders ATC

The theme in the 9ATC Group is Mica Powders. I started with some background paper made several years ago and stamped a dotted background image with VersaMark ink over the background and them brushed on 3 different shades of purple mica powders and then bushed off the extra powder.

I stamped a pear image with black StazOn ink onto the background and then colored with image with a green and a yellow gold Perfect Pearls (mica powders with a fixative built in).

I trimmed the card and adhered it to a dark green card stock. Used a gold colored pearl pen to add 3 small circles to the card.
