Feel Goods

All of these cards use the Feel Goods sentiment set.

Trying to use some of the dsp from last year, or before.  So even though it's "retired"  it's still good paper!  Such great sentiments in this set and in a cool font!

Mosaic Madness

Moon Theme ATCs

Just finished an ATCswap

What are ATC's? They are Artist Trading Cards.

They are small works of art, traded amongst artists.

They measure 3 1/2" x 2 1/2"

 

This swap had a moon theme.

Here are the five cards I sent in.

 

 These two are similar. One has glitter all over the moon and one, just around it.

I sponged with Distress Inks on Shimmery White cardstock, using a simple circle mask for the moon using both the negative and the positive parts.  Star punches and Stickles glitter glue and then I sewed the edges.

 

This one I sponged again, using the Distress Inks and Glossy cardstock.  I can't believe I never sponged on glossy cs before!   I had the little Cheshire Cat, just laying around all colored in AND cut out, so he just jumped on this card.  He is popped up on  foam adhesive.  The ribbon is Summer Starfruit Stitched Satin ribbon, from Stampin'  Up! and stiched around with matching thread.

 

This one is sponged with Distress Inks and a couple pine trees stamped in.  I used my paper piercer to poke the holes for stitching with a 1/8" organdy ribbon.

 

The last one, I embossed the circle design and again sponged on Shimmery White cardstock, using the Distress Inks, and then I water colored with ink the darker yellow shade in the moon.  I spritzed it a little with some Color Wash spray and stamped the floral/leaves in Concord Crush ink.  Finally topping it off with some golden colored  gems.

Thanks for stopping by!

Here's a SNEAK PEEK of the Core'dinations Cardstock, coming in the Holiday Catalog.  I hope you got yours in the mail!  Some really cool things coming.

I also used the Reason to Smile stamp set on the first one.  During July, if you place a $50 order you can purchase this stamp set for $5

So the Core'dinations cardstock (cs) is lighter in the core of the paper and it's textured on one side. so you can tear it or sand it to reveal the 2nd shade.
Here I have crumpled it and then sanded it.
