DRAGONSDREAM TAG IT ON- TIO#87

   The challenge at DRAGONSDREAM this week is Project Tim Holtz. I have Tim going postal for my tag. Everything I used is by Tim except for the postcard and french stamps which are from my stash. 
Thank you for looking. Have a fun Friday.

Postal ATC #1

I thought I would show you the first postal ATC I got from Rhonda. Is this sweet or what! Even the envelope is a work of art. She is very talented. You might want to visit her blog lost in cardland. Lots of inspiration there. In a previous post I showed you the shrine I made to display the ATC's. We hope to send them at least once a month. And even better her and her husband were up for the last 2 days. The guys were busy with rebuilding our dock so we had some undisturbed play time. It is such a treat for me. I will be beaming for days. I hope you have a friend who likes to play with the same toys and you can laugh and create together.

Thank you for looking!

Alter it Monthly - February

This is my entry for Alter it Monthly (shrines, nichos,altars and Dream boxes). The shrine was given to me by my good friend Rhonda from lost in cardland. Our intent is to exchange ATC's using the Art of Nick Bantock as our inspiration. It has taken a while to get it going so this challenge was a perfect prompt. I have used alcohol inks and Pigma archival brushes on the metal after wiping it with alcohol - wasn't easy to make the inks stick. I put a transparency over the TH clock . The background for the mail (catslife press) art sign is verdigris ep. I made a love ATC for February using TH stamps. All the other ingredients are from my stash.

Thank you for looking! Sorry for the bad photography.

Gingersnap Creations 71: Random Redhead-Inchies

I made this card for the GC C 71: Inchies. The postage stamps are my inchies. I mounted the stamps on black and cut them out with postal scissors. The bird image is from "The Lady's Closet". I used stamps from Stampington, Tim Holtz and Stampa Rosa. The background paper is from My Minds Eye. I colored it with distress inks - bundled sage, pumice stone and faded jeans.

Thank you for looking!

Kard Krazy Tag Challenge - gone postal

 The theme for tag challenge #16 at Kard Krazy was to make a grid tag. I used postal stamps to create a background and added color with distress inks. I used a Whispers stamp for the blocks and then added postage stamps. It was a fun tag to make.
