Glimmery, Shimmery ATCs

We had a taste of Spring in New England today. The sun was shining and the thermometer almost hit 50 degrees. After taking a really long walk along some new trails, I only had a short amount of time to make something. Still on my quest to try some different things this week, I decided upon a couple of ATCs.

The background of the first ATC was created by dabbing a mixture of reinkers and shimmer paint onto a piece of c/stock (Dabbed Shimmers technique - Feb/March '10 edition of TJ newlsetter). Once it was dry, I added the extra step of running it through an embossing folder.

I had an extra image left over from this tag - she's stamped on a vintage bridge score sheet. The word 'faith' and number 12 were cut from a Jenni Bowlin bingo card (love those things!) and a few latte pearls from Amuse finish it off.

I made this orange guy for Think Monday Think ATC, where they challenged readers to create an ATC that is predominantly orange. The background is a piece of white c/stock that I created using the Antiqued Glimmers technique (Dec '09/Jan '10 TJ newsletter). I also threw in a Tim Holz mask for good measure. Then I simply stamped the image over the top, spotlighted the word 'art' and added some printed twill tape to the bottom.

Have a fun weekend whatever your plans are!
