ATC Chunky

What's an ATC Chunky? I asked the same question a few weeks ago. Its a piece of wood the same size as a traditional ATC but its one and a half inches thick. I made mine for a swap on UK's here The swap was Halloween my swappee wanted a witchy theme. It took me several days and a few idea changes before I had a theme I was happy with. I love the finished piece and am sad to let it go.

 I painted the piece black and then covered it with scenic paper. I used my Craft Robo to cut the main elements. I assembled a wiches boot to add to the top of the ATC. Inspiration came when I found a small glass jar. I made some eyeballs(eye of newt) out of fimo. I added glossy accents to the jar for a more realistic look.The large eyeballs have veins drawn on them with a promarker. I added them to the top of the ATC instead of the boot. The boot will fit on top of the ATC. I think It looks cluttered so I am going to leave it freestanding my swappee can add It if she choses to.

Alice in Wonderland Cards.

Another UKS swap the theme  books. I couldn't bring myself to rip pages from a book so I copied and pasted text from an online version. I used Tea Dye distress ink to tint the paper. Clipart  was used rather than stamps . One of the swap options was the use of quotes.The finished cards are simple and understated but I think they work.

Pictures could be better awaiting a new camera.

Altered Domino

Another UK's Swap.

I inked my dominoes around the edges and sides with black Promarker.

Coloured red ribbon with black promarker to get  a purplish colour.

Glued ribbon to the inside of the domino before attaching the accordion fold piece.

Cut the pages to fit inside the folds and added the content as requested by my swapee.

Added Purple and Copper patterned cardstock to back of accordion fold.

Cut copper sheet  for the front and back covers and added deep scratch marks with a ball tool.

Glued ribbon around the edges of the domino for a finished look.

Added feet to the bottom of the dominoes to complete the look.

I struggled with the theme but I am pleased with the finished piece.

Grimm's Fairytale ATC Cinderalla Theme.

 Grimm's Fairytlale ATC
  I participated  in a swap on UKS.There were 10 of us in a group we each made 10 ATC's, which the talented Rebecca then made into an ATC book.Mine is in the post and I can't wait to see it.I didn't realise how many of our modern Fairytales, are actually Grimm's or how many they wrote.

I chose Cinderella as I knew there would be plenty of images etc availible.I found two cut files on the UKS Silhouette Forum , which were perfect for my theme.I cut out the Pumpkin Coach, Clock and a tiny Shoe .I added Glossy accents to the shoe to give the impression of a glass slipper.I drew some swirls with a glue pen and added glitter,for a magical effect as the clock struck midnight.
