An ATC Card

Ok here is my interpretation of an ATC card, using an image and all Stampin' Up! products.

I have used the corner rounder on on end at the top, have used my cutter kit to distress the edges, the image is printed, have used winter post stamp set, a clip from the mixed clip sets from Stampin' up!, a little piece of coordintaing ribbon. The product used around the hand muff is like flower soft and the recipe for it is on the Swap Sisters Ning Site.

I have mounted the ATC card onto cardstock, added a eyelet scallop edge, and it can now be used for a chrissy card later in the year.

Colour challenge at Swap Sisters this week

here is my latest colour challenge at Swap Sisters, and i think i really should make a card then choose the colours, not as much work lol, but anyway, this card took me way out of my comfort zone, for those that know me I do not do bright and summery, so to get these colours on a card was a challenge, and to make it harder I decided not to stamp a single thing on it.

cardstock: tempting Turquoise, Summer Sun, Only orange and Pixie Pink.

Other: Tempting Turquoise Grosgrain and buttons from summer catty, scallop edge punch,

Big shot machine (love this) and an embossing folder.
