Blog War - ATC - Father's Day Theme

Hi Girls,

I am happy with the way this ATC turned out. I think that this ATC looks very masculine.

Supplies used:

Bazzill Basics: Fawn

Castaway SB Paper: Oceania, Stripes and Sand

Ribbon: 1/4" Brown, Aqua Stitch

Stamp: Car Small

Stamp: Greetings Set: Time is the most precious gift we can share

Magic Mount

Paper Fasteners: Aged Copper

This ATC would be perfect as an embellishment on the front of a card with the "Happy Father's Day" stamp.

Cheers, Fiona.

Blog War - 31st August to 4th September

Hi Everyone,

This weeks blog war is Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) with a Father's Day theme.

Artist Trading Cards must measure 3.5" x 2.5" and are like little works of art.

This will be great as Father's Day is fast approaching and you can use an ATC to decorate your card with.

I will be starting on the ATC's today and will upload a photo later.

Cheers, Fiona.

Blog War - Fluid Chalk Ink - Day 5

Hi Everyone,

Here is my latest creation using Fluid Chalk Ink. I decided to make up a Father's Day card.

Supplies used:

Oatmeal Card

Ebony and Ivory Paper: Definitions /Spots, Black / Cream Circle, Bracket / Houndstooth.

Stamp: Ebony and Ivory Set: the small square

Stamp: Script Background

Stamp: Happy Father's Day

Stamp: Postmark

Magic Mount

Crystal Ice Stickles

Fluid Chalk Ink: Charcoal

Magic Mount

I loved the idea of using different stamps to create a card. I used the magic mount underneath the quote and the greeting.

I used the Crystal Ice Stickles on the squares on the side of the card. This is great to use to create a beautiful, glittery pearl effect.

Blog War - Fluid Chalk Ink - Day 3

Hi Girls,

The technique for this card was taught to me by Carolyn Shaw, a consultant who lives in Grenfell. To make the card you keep stamping around the entire edge of the card, only reinking the stamp after every 2nd stamping. I added Crystal Ice Stickles to the centre of the darkest flowers. A quick card to make but very effective.

Supplies used: Funky Yellow Card

Fluid Chalk Inks: Tangerine and Charcoal

Stamp: Brushed Daisy Small

Stamp: Friends Like Flowers
