Celebrate Dictionary Day with Blank Page Muse

Hello!  Susie on the blog and today we are celebrating Dictionary Day!

I am kind of a word nerd and will admit to flipping through the dictionary to find new and interesting words.  Who knew there was a day to celebrate that?! When I saw the Creativity Definition stamp from Blank Page Muse I had to have it!   Since today is Dictionary Day, I decided to combine my stack of gel prints with the definition stamp to create more ATCs for my CAS card stash.

Time to play...

Supplies:
Creativity Definition Word Phrase Rubber Stamp by Terri Sproul
Just Us Girls Line Figure Art Rubber Stamp Sheet by Terry Sproul
Background Grunge Art Rubber Stamp Sheet by Pam Bray
Gel prints for backgrounds
Archival Ink - Black, Aquamarine
Cardstock

Directions:
Cut gel print paper to 3.5" x 2.5" and stamp with Creativity definition in black ink.

Stamp female figure with black ink.

Stamp Background Grunge elements as desired.

Optional:  Stamp Background Grunge elements with alternate colors before adding definition and figure images.

Repeat to create additional gel print ATCs.

Mat ATCs with white cardstock and mount on black cardstock to create CAS cards.

I have to say, the Background Grunge stamps were great for adding little elements that balanced the designs and the Just Us Girls Line Figures are perfect for a little abstract playtime. I love making these ATCs because it is a fun and practical way to use up my creative experiments!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!

Unicorn ATCs

Hello! So I thought I would explore the realm of the ATC and how far you can take it away from the standard size of 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".  Stayed tuned for more out of the box ATCs!

For these ATCs I used -
Unicorn Wishes by Donna Gray
Correspondence Pens by Katy Leitch
Black embossing powder
Tombow markers
Gelli printed papers
Watercolors
Stencils
Word Tags
Acrylic paint

 These ATC backgrounds were done on watercolor paper because there were lots of wet mediums applied to the surface. I painted the backgrounds with Fushia watercolors then added orange acrylic paint over that and stamped with the Script stamp from the Correspondence stamp set.

Then Unicorn Wishes stamps were stamped on white cardstock that was gelli printed and heat embossed in black. One of the unicorns was colored with markers while the other one was left as is from the gelli print.

The unicorns were too long to fit on the ATC, so cut off the tail of the longest one and attach it with a small brad, now the tail will move. The word tags were added with a small brad also.

This technique could be used for any number of items that don't fit on the ATC. Let me see what you come up with that is interactive on your ATCs!!
