Hi Crafters,
Saturdays certainly come around quickly! It's time for me to share my Design Team creation for the new challenge at Allsorts where it is an easy Anything Goes theme but as an option I have asked you to CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND.
We are spread over two weeks this time so there's plenty of opportunity to join in.
I love to create ATC's and so I have made these...
For my background I 'Smooshed' - technical word :o) - some different shades of green Distress Oxides on to my non-stick mat and dabbed my card on to it, when this was dry I stamped the script randomly. Then I added the texture paste using a stencil. I die cut the flowers, hessian and file tab from other 'smooshed' backgrounds that I had made and added them using staples - this is the first time I've attached elements using a staple and I quite like how it looks. Lastly I doodled a black border and added the pearls to the flower centres.
Challenges I'd like to enter:
Creative Artiste Challenge - #85 ATG Mixed Media

Stunning ATC's very exquisite. I had a few saying my blog comes up as dangerous, not sure why, I have malwarebytes protection xxc
They are gorgeous, lovely and vibrant and great texture, xxx
Love that background and what a good idea to use ordinary staples. You are right, it works a treat, must try it xx
They turned out so beautifully! Love these colors and I may need to get that hessian die! It makes such a nice layer!
A lovely set of ATCs Lorraine, they are so pretty.

Love the contrast of the greens against the sepia trellis and then pops of the Daisies which really draw the eye. Perfect theme for me and right up my street Lorraine, thank you.

Little mini works of art, they are beautiful and I really like the index tab on the side.
These are stunning Lorraine .. I absolutely love everything about them. I am always studying other people’s ATC’s to gather ideas and these are really inspiring. I had never thought of using staples either !!
