Hello friends, I hope you're doing great and you've had a great start to your week. I'm sharing my creations for this month's ATC Scrap Makes IG Hop. We challenge you to use leftover die cuts, sentiments and card stock to create Artist Trading Cards (ATC's). You can send them in happy mail, save them on a ring to highlight your favorite creations, swap them with friends or add sweet notes to a lunchbox. Join us if you like; the only rules are to use scraps and create cards that are 2.5” x 3.5” in size. We share our little snippets of happiness on the third Tuesday of the month.
This month I am continuing my alphabet series of ATC's with J, K & L. I think it will be fun each month finding images/dies for each letter. I'm trying to stick to animals and food but we'll see how it goes. I'm excited to see them all at the end and I hope you are going to stick around to see them all too. I used mostly older, retired products but I still love them so why not use them. I hope you like them; do you have a favourite from this month's trio?Here are my three ATC's:
A closer look at 'J':
A closer look at 'K':
And a closer look at 'L':
The backs are simply decorated with the ATC info stamp and some blending:
Once again I used my leftover ink blending scrap paper for two of my backgrounds as they turn out really interesting and not something I would create myself. I did add some stamping on 'K', a little stencilling on 'J' and ink blended around the edges. For the 'L' ATC I used part of a die cut panel that I cut but never used. I stamped, coloured with Promarkers and die cut all my images and also die cut extra white layers for the images and adhered them together with liquid glue. The images were added to the backgrounds with liquid glue. I die cut the letters from coloured card, again stacking them x 3 and added them to the ATC's with liquid glue. I once again used part of the frames that I had used on previous month's ATC's, cut them from the same coloured card and added parts of it to the edges of the ATC. I added white spatter to all three ATC's. For the backs I simply ink blended the matching colours around the edges and stamped one the ATC info stamps (that I won a few months ago) in black ink.
I would like to enter my ATC's in the following challenges:
