For this atc I used images from a mens atc booklet, I also used crackle paint on the man's picture and the edges and ink around the edges too.




Sandie

 I very gently smudged some black and yellow ink with a piece of sponge on to a piece of card, careful not to over colour it. I then stamped the image and mounted it on to a black atc blank to frame it. Finishing off with a computor generated sentiment,also mounted on a piece of black card.

Lisa

Stamped the postage marks and stamped & embossed the the image of the man. Painted over entire ATC with acrylic paint and then wiped over with a tissue to remove some of the paint. Stamped 'Man' in bottom right.

I have decided to make a little ATC Easel.  My image is a free stamp that I got years ago from Craft Stamper (do you remember the old red rubber ones mounted on foam - yep it's that old!).  The lovely papers are from DCWV La Creme stack

So the prize for this Challenge is - A pack of assorted leaves - I have used these before and they ink well !!!

The Design Team have had a little chat about Copyright rules, so I had a little chat with a very talented Designer Shendy, her work is amazing and her CDs are about to become available to buy.  So big big Thanks to you Shendy for designing these papers just for us here at ATC Challenge.

So You can use these papers by saving and printing them or just by taking inspiration from them.

Lets have a Look at what the team have come up with this time around.

Leah

Made using neon pens and promarkers

Abbie

Sandie

The trousers I've made from yellow glitter card, added the chain from my stash. For the shoes I had to google a free picture, which I glued on to some card before cutting out, making them stiff enough to stand out.

kirsty

coloured using neon gel pens then added the images of Austin Powers and his car and used silver peel offs to add the word swinger!!.

caro

used one of the free backgrounds - then found a 70's disco dancer and added some bling

Fiona 

Don't know about you guys but this looks like its moving, lol. I love the psychedelic colours. I googled this image and cut groovy on my cricut with some swirls and mounted it onto black card.

Kama

I printed a background from my computer, and found a picture from the web. Mounted on black cardstock and used copy paper for the wording. 



Jack

For my groovy ATC I used stamps from Hero Arts Circular Designs and stamped them with Stampin' Up inks in Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango and Delightful Daffodil then added some more colour with Sakura Stardust pens.  I then matted and layered on blue and yellow, finishing off with some gold peel-offs.

I just had to make a second ATC for this challenge.  At about 1 o'clock in the morning I had this brilliant idea of making Austin Powers' jacket.  I stuck lace to the base of my ATC and then cut out his jacket, adding faux stitching and a snazzy square button.  Yeah, baby, yeah!!!





Lisa

 Background made using alcohol inks and cosmic shimmer sprays, sentiment printed on printer and embossed with clear sparkle embossing powder, flowers punched from same background and added sparkley stars.





Shirley-anne

Shell shocked, covered ATC base with PVA glue applied crushed sea shells onto it, allowed to dry then added further two shells again with PVA glue once all dried added Silver Sprakle Fairy dust hope you like it.

Tony

I made the background with blue glitter glue, and the bottom half with seed beads (pinched from my cross stitcher wife). I made the frame from gold card and then an All out yesterdays topper with metal shell charms.

Abbie

Some fun with the rabbit in the sun  lol

Sandie

For the back ground I used some windbreak style paper from my stash, I then used a picture of Dolphins to make in to a body board,adding a wrist cord and brad for effect.Finally layered some paper shells to finish the scene.

Fiona

For this atc I used a inkadinkado clear stamp then brayered the background, stuck on a beach and some small shells.

Jack

For this challenge I've made a triptych ATC (that's an ATC in 3 parts). I stamped my scene using Hobby Arts Coastal Scene-Its onto watercolour paper and then painted it using Koh-i-noor watercolour paints and Whispers pens.

Lisa

"Beside the Seaside" I used a collage of scraps of patterned paper to make the beach scene and then stamped out the beach hut and boat and layered on top.

Judie

I used Distress inks to do the backing and then sprinkled on some embossing powder then reinked using distress inks again, this has given it a resist look and feel. I got the image from google along with the wording and added some shells to the bottom

 Lisa Sparkle

Sandcastle Memories- the image is from a gorgeous Stampin' Up stamp set, the background is an old book page, lightly stippled with Distress Inks. The image is very gently coloured with Promarkers, just around the edges for some definition. Plus, a little red spade, because my bucket and spade were red when I was a child!
