Some More ATCs


I thought I would add a couple more ATCs to my blog, these were made for my Yahoo group as well. The first one with the Monalisa image was for June`s theme of art/artists. The second image was for the month of July, the theme being Crowns.
For August, the theme was Circus/Carnival, so I got out my trusty Cuttlebug embosser & went crazy with the Kindy Glitz LOL. The last one was done as a return, the image of the bodyform is from a NonSequitor plate (a favourite), it has a bit of beautiful vintage cotton lace I picked up at the Packing House Antique Store in Mornington.
I absolutely LOVE making these little creations, & the fact that each one is so different...& I know that every time I take part in a swap, the ATCs I get back are beautiful little works of art, & each one is an endless well filled with ideas & possibilities, so long live ATCs, & just in case you don`t know what ATCs are, it`s an acronym for Artist Trading Cards. If you`d like to know more, check out this link http://www.cedarseed.com/air/atc.html It`s one of the most informative articles I`ve come across on the subject. That`s it for now, if you`ve read this whole post I`m sorry I didn`t put a "Warning: Long Post Ahead", I`ll save that for the next post LOL. In the meantime, like the song says "Don`t Worry, Be Happy..." (& don`t blame me if that song is playing over & over in your head now) TTFN
P.S. Moodiesfan left this link for me, http://www.altered-art.net/ Go check it out, lots of great information there too. Thanks Moodiesfan for the great link.
