So I took some crafting time this morning and finished my ATCs for a "Vintage" themed swap that the awesome Ally is hosting. She has gone crazy with the ATCs and I had to join. I do love doing swaps as long as I get good stuff back!Here's a little ramble about what I did to create these babies...
I used corrugated cardboard for my base, painted it with gesso, stamped it with distress ink and french script, then I used the Tattered Angles Glimmer chips and glimmer mist to do the butterfly. Then cut out some vintage cards that I scanned for the middle of the frame. I love these cards. They bled a little when I added the crystal lacquer so you couldn't read the words any more so I added the "Remember When" title. Glittered, added some stitched crepe paper and a flower stick pin that I made and a little bouquet. I am pretty happy with how they turned out :)
Could still use your help with the votes!! click here. it takes 2 seconds. please please please do it!!
