ATC: Christmas Fishes

Hello!

Welcome to my latest follower, Debbi Taylor! Lovely to have you join me.

Today I'm showing an ATC I made for the Wicked Wednesday challenge. 

The theme this week is Winter Hats or Accessories, and as the lovely Miss Rach is the sponsor, I decided to use a Miss Rach digi which you can find here.

Miss Rach has some lovely digis at very reasonable prices - if you haven't visited, let me tell you - it's well worth your while!

Anyhow, here is my ATC:

I used glitter card and mirri card for the background and used a border die to cut waves.  I die cut some seaweed from patterned paper and left the fronds loose. I coloured my clown fish with markers and added some glitter to his hat's fur trim.  He's attached on foam pads for a bit of dimension. I added some splatters of watered down white acrylic paint to represent bubbles and a hand written sentiment with inked edges.

Thanks for stopping by today!

xoxo

ATC: Feathers

Hello!

Welcome to Terri, Babs and Wendy - I'm thrilled you could join me! 

This week, the ATC challenge at Wicked Wednesday is Fins, Feathers or Fur.

I went with feathers, as I remembered I had a cute little bird by Miss Rach, who is the sponsor. 

I bought this bird because it was pretty to look at - I had no idea how gorgeous it is in real life! It's an Australian Bee Eater and I had to Google it to see how I should colour it. WOW!!! I didn't expect that.

    

{Moral of this little tale: buy from Miss Rach and get educated :-) teehee! }

Anyhow...here is my ATC:

The marbled background was printed using shaving cream and Dylusions ink in Fresh Lime and Calypso Teal. The edges of the card were then inked in black.

The bird was coloured with alcohol markers, then fussy cut leaving a thin white border. This was matted onto black card and fussy cut again. The image was added to the ATC on foam pads. Glitter was applied to the little heart and 2 craft feathers were stuck to the bottom corner along with a lime green bow. Such a 'tweet' little bee eater!

Thanks for stopping by today!
