Conjurer of Dreams: Hello Fall ATCs

 

Hello

At the Conjurer of Dreams blog there are several challenges.
Some of the challenges provide an image to work with.
The ATC Challenge this month is Hello Fall themed and Kim, the owner, has provided an ATC sheet.

This is what I made:


The background images were inked in black around the edges and adhered to gold card. The Fall fairies were fussy cut along with the other images as ephemera. They were popped onto the ATC backgrounds, leaving some parts loose, so there appears to be movement. Small printed sentiments were inked and added.


Hope you'll pop over to collect the sheet and join our ATC challenge.

Here are my projects.

An altered trinket box:

I added modge podge and patterned paper to the outside of an oval papier mache box and used one of the beautiful Autumn Mystics images on the top. I added some pearl trim around the image and some lovely lace around the side.

A set of 3D cards:


For this card I used the Rustic Fall paper pack and an image from Autumn Mystics collage set. I heat embossed around the papers in bronze and added textural ribbon behind the fussy cut image of the woman. I added gold beads and a brown velvet ribbon with a knot bow.


For the next card I I used the Rustic Fall paper pack and another image from Autumn Mystics collage set. 


Some autumn leaves trim was added this time and some gold mesh fabric behind the image.

And lastly, some digital art pieces:
