On the 7th Day of Christmas

ATC SISTERHOOD 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop

On the 7 Th Day of Christmas my true love game to me.... Seven Swans a Swimming

 

12 th Day of Christmas

 I cut my atc at 3.5 inches x 2.5 inches using midnight blue paper.  

I found the swan image on line and adjusted it to the varying sizes. 

I attached the swans at varying depths and  highlighted the feathers with silver stickles.  

I used a braided cord with clear tinsil for the embellishment and a glitter pen to make the number 7.

Waterfall Card

I created my first waterfall card. This was an ATC I created for a "Cultural You" swap. I wanted to highlight my Cherokee background so here it is... Cherokee Pride!

ATC Fridays

My dear friend at ATC Sisterhood has issued a Friday challenge. With each week uploading a new ATC created in the previous week. This week I choose to do a family tree since we will be surrounded by family this weekend. No... that isn't a misprint! Our son is actually the 4th generation "Roy" but there wasn't enough room to do great grads... lol!

I used glossy accent for the first time on this project and it was pretty awesome to see the "apples" come to life.

ATC Sisterhood - 2 Part Challenge

This challenge was 2 part:
    Part 1 was to create an ATC
    Part 2 was to use the ATC to make a card

Here's the ATC

Here's the card

No need to water...

My mom was recently in the hospital and we weren't sure how long she would be so I wanted to do something that would cheer her up and that she could keep forever to remind her that true beauty comes from the inside. This is what I came up with and used my WONDERFUL wishblade to cut everything.

So here I am...

I have found a new outlet for all my crafty craziness... Artist Trading Cards! Better known as ATC's, they are little tiny ways to be creative. Best of all I get to trade them with other people who are just as crafty if not more so than I am. I just completed my first set and am well on the way to finishing my second. More pics to come!
