Fly Away ATC Cards

Welcome and thank you for stopping by!

I’m here again with another ATC series.  I’m a member at Swap-bot.com and I regularly have the privilege of swapping ATC cards with other crafters and artists.  In June I created this series for a swap with other swap partners.  Making these allows me to sent words of encouragement, wisdom and even humor to others from different parts of the world.  For me it’s a way to spread kindness and hopefully for one moment in time give someone a reason to smile.

For this series I used the “Beautiful Day” stamp set that came in the April’s Simon Says Stamps kit. 

ATC #1 “Strong” – The background for all the ATCs was created using oxide inks and a small background stamps.

ATC #2 “Inspire” – The words are from Tim Holtz Chitchat stickers.  I have a bunch of these always in my supplies, since they are so versatile when crafting and adding sentiments. 

ATC #3 “Imagine” –  Small stamps are great to use with ATCs to fill and add texture to the background. 

ATC #4 “Strength” – The coloring for all the leaves and butterflies was done with watercolor markers by Zig Clean Brush.

ATC #5 “May your day be full of Sunshine” – For all the ATCs I also added some enamel dots as embellishments to add even more dimension.

 

Hopefully I have inspired you give an ATC swap a try or at least given you some ideas for your next craft.  The links to the materials I used are at the end of this post.

Always remember to nourish your creative soul!
