MERRY CHRISTMAS~

Here is a Christmas Chunky ATC I created for Swing Shift Designs. I used various Vintage Christmas images from the Winter Wonderland & Christmas Angels collage sheets. There are soooo many wonderful images on these sheets to choose from. I think they are all so beautiful.

I used a Prima flower, lace trim, strand of pearls, gold wired ribbon trim, & one of my handmade beaded stick pin.



I decorated the top of the Chunky ATC with Wild Orchid Crafts mulberry paper roses, shimmery red ribbon (I had in my stash), and accented the large white rose with crystal stickles.



Here are pics of each side:




I added clear rhinestones, distressed the edges of the image and also stained the wood with Tim Holtz's Red Barn distressing ink.


I used a Wild Orchid Crafts paper poinsettia flower and background paper is from Recollection's Bright and Jolly paper pad. It's been my favorite paper pad all season long.

Please stop by and visit Swing Shift Designs for these lovely images and many more.

CHUNKY ATC~ PRESENTING MARIE ANTOINETTE

Hello Friends!!!

How are all of you? I hope all is well. It looks like the rain finally subsided (at least for now). LOL!! I spent Saturday crafting with my meetup group Crafter's Retreat. It was a perfect day to craft since it poured rain all day.

I did a little catching up on a card and a Chunky ATC. Here are some pics of the Chunky ATC I created for my friend Shirley. She loves Marie Antoinette so this is what I came up with.








I used transluscent glass microbeads on the rose here. Please excuse the glare.

MY FIRST CHUNKY ATC~ SWAP VIA PENNYWISE ARTS

Hello Friends!!!

Just wanted to share with all of you another fun project I did. This is for a swap I participated in via PennywiseArts on Yahoogroups. I used various collage sheets I received from my friend Michele. She designs various collage sheets and is just totally awesome!!! You can purchase her lovely collage sheets currently on PennywiseArts. However, she will be having her website available soon. Stay tuned. I used silk flowers, microbeads, and other various embellishments creating this. I was thrilled to learn that my partner absolutely loved it. :) I can't wait to do another one soon. I will be creating one for my friend Shirley.
