ATC Fever

I have a long list of crafty items I need and want to make! Do you? Now to find the time.

I have been playing with my alcohol inks this morning, thinking about making some backgrounds for some ATC's.  I made one background that I really liked and decided to make something with it which I will enter both for the current May Hero Arts contest and the new Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday challenge which is to use stickers or rub-ons.

Paper: Glossy white cardstock; K & Co. (patterned paper)
Ink: White Stazon; Versafine Onyx Black; Adirondack Alcohol Inks (Denim, Stream & Aqua)
Stamps: Hero Arts
Other: Jute; Bead (stash); Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type Sticker

I created the background with Denim, Stream and Aqua Alcohol inks and some blending solution on glossy white cardstock.  Next I stamped the rose from the Hero Arts "Two Birds" cling stamp with white Stazon.  I paper pieced the ladybug from the Hero Arts "Antique Engravings" clear set.

I added a little strip of patterned paper from K & Company at the bottom and a bit of Jute plus a black pearl.  And the final touch was the sticker from Cosmo Cricket.  I love what it says, "unique", that is what we all are!

Wishing you a fabulous Sunday! We could not have asked for a more day!

I will however leave you with this personal picture today!  I was not sure whether to cry or laugh on Thursday night!  Take a guess, here is a clue, it involves a 5 year old!!!
