Here’s a card I have made for a music swap on stamphappy yahoo group. I must say I am loving the colours!
It uses an unknown music collage (please feel free to enlighten me if you recognise it) and the little flourishes are from the Darkroom Door – little dreams set.
These are the Atc’s I received back from the Darkroom door Photobooth swap I joined. They are all so gorgeous in real life – as you probably know the scanner just does not even nearly do them justice. These were made by…
Me, Sandra De Marchi, Damaris M
Pam Tucker, Sherri Field, Sue McGettigan
Rachel Greig(hostess), Cheryl Townley, Janet Hamblin.
It was a cool challenge to work with these little images and now I have lots of ideas of what to do with the ones I have left (and the ones I’ll get in the future)- Thank you ladies.
I realised that I haven’t posted in over two weeks (and I expect that will continue or get worse until after Christmas)
I’ve been busy with work but also preparing projects for StampersQuest.com and classes at Scrapbook Corner. Today, I decided to join in the challenge here at CreatedByHandChallenge and this is the card I have made. (Please ignore the sticker sticking up – it has been remedied -honest)
I’ve used up peices that I was experimenting with in preparation for a class at my local – Scrapbook Corner.
Stamps used: well actually none
Inks used:alcohol and various dye
Techniques used: sponging through sequins scrap, peelcraft stickers
Go here for the pdf file to print out
Stamps used:
ISC “about me” and “Atc elements II“
Rubbadubbadoo “Classic lady“
inks used: Distress, versamark and versafine black

This
was done the same as the “fly” atc below – using some different stamps
for a return for a 1-4-1 swap. I’m already planning how I’ll do it
different next time. I like this one – but I can see it going further
too.
Oooh I think I’m going to give this a go swedish collage challenge go and check it out – looks like a fun way to use up papers and get blood flowing to a different part of my brain. hehehe. Have until 1st October to join in – so one week eek!
“There are several key points which regularly appear in swedish collage style stamping…
* the shape of the card is SQUARE
* a bold mix of PATTERN PAPERS is used
* CHIPBOARD titles (in any language!), BUTTONS and/or STAPLES are often incorporated into the design
* COLOR COLOR COLOR the more color the better! (this is not your regular vintage style collage frequently done in the states! Ban the brown!)”
Oh here’s my “swedish collage” – see previous post.
Wow it was fun to do – I think of it as the best friend that you have that no one can understand why you’re friends with them – these friends are often the ones you can really depend on when it really matters – and I’m assuming this card will be the same.
It was great to get stuck in to that stash box!
Stamps used: Hero Arts clear alphabet sets – O,Q,Y,U,K.
inks used: colorbox ruby, versafine black, adirondack wild plum handmade background papers
techniques used:The shoe and hand bag are stickers on acetate that were coloured in with “sakura glaze” pens by my dear little K and the rest is just a bit of ripping, a bit of glueing, a bit of inking edges, a bit of punching and ‘hey presto’ you’re there! I haven’t used any buttons or staples though so it may need adding to – after all “more is more”.
