share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels artist trading card atc mixed media think monday think atc cloth and paper this is my entry for this week s tmta on the theme of cloth and paper i wanted to create a traditional looking christmas atc for this one the main image is a gel medium image transfer onto linen the linen an offcut from the bottom of some too long curtains that i bought a few years ago and it s proved to be extremely useful i m quite pleased with how soft the transfer has turned out as i think it suits the look of the atc the background is a printed image of some christmas music which i ve coloured using distress inks i added some printed papers at the corners some sparkly mesh and a strip of printed paper along the bottom then i layered on the main image and some fabric holly leaves with some stick on gems for the berries finally i added the star brad at the bottom and the words which i made using a dymo label maker posted by sian at 16 43 00 15 comments

susan this is my journal page for susan on the theme of woman i started off by inking the background in shades of purple blue and aqua then spritzed it with water and heat dried it i then sprayed on some gold cosmic shimmer powder and heat dried it again then stamped the text in shades to match the background i stamped the man image in black stazon and added a piece of sequin mesh at the opposite corner i then added the flourish and the word woman which are grungeboard which i ve painted with acrylics then added crackle medium with metallic rub on over the top to show up the cracks unfortunately this doesn t show up well in the photo finally i addded the flower and leaf at the corner of the stamped image with a button for the centre of the flower posted by sian at 14 34 00 2

theme on wednesday stamper is snowflakes i ve made an atc for this which i ve called snowy days i ve used a printed and cut out vintage christmas card image of a girl throwing snowballs and mounted it onto a tile which i made firstly by inking with distress inks then covering with three layers of clear utee with some silver embossing powder around the edges and then stamping into it with a snowflake stamp and yes i forgot to cut out the bit between her feet i ve cut it out now and it looks much better but it s too dark to take a new photo i also used distress inks for the background stamped snowflakes onto it in white pigment ink and embossed them with holographic powder then i added some silver embossing powder aroud the edges the big snowflake at the bottom is stamped in white ink on navy blue card and embossed with holographic powder as you can probably imagine both the snowflake and the background are a lot more shimmery and sparkly in real life finally i added the gems down the side and the printed words posted by sian at 15 59 00 23 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels artist trading card atc mixed media rubber stamping utee wednesday stamper sunday 16 november 2008 some friendly plastic atcs these are for a friendly plastic themed swap being hosted by sheena doggrooomer on the docrafts forum i absolutely love using friendly plastic so this was one i couldn t miss and it also gave me the chance to make some nice textured backgrounds using my new gel mediums and moulding pastes for the top one i made the background using golden light moulding paste and course pumice gel painted it with balck acrylic and then dry brushed it with gold and metallic red acrylic paint i heated some triangles of gold friendly plastic for the wings and then stuck some smaller triangles of the black snakeskin effect fp on top i then dragged a needle tool through the fp from the centre to create the bat wing effect i made the head using a mould and then heated the wings up a bit more and stuck the head onto them finally i made the small squares by layering two different sized squares of fp on top of each other and dragging the needle tool through it from the centre to give them spiky corners i added gems in the middle of the squares and in the eyes of the face by heating the fp a bit and sticking the gem straight into it i stuck the fp pieces onto the background using silicone glue i find silicone glue works well with fp because the fp is light and the glue is flexible for the second one i created the background using golden light moulding paste which i made wiggly lines in using a coarse bristled paintbrush and then painted over it using some lovely shimmery watercolour paints and addded some metallic rub on over the top to pick up the ridges the friendly plastic is done in three layers for the bottom layer i started with three strips which i spiked the edges of using a needle tool and then pressed some mesh into the middle of i pressed the mesh in using the needle tool so the fp would ooze up through the gaps next i created a layer of marbled fp by heating up strips and then pulling a marbling comb through it first in one direction and then in the other i then heated the bottom layer again and stuck the marbled layer on top finally i made the face using a mould i had a slight mishap with this one in that i ended up with a bit at the top of the head where the black showed through i didn t quite position the fp correctly in the mould i don t do wastage so instead of throwing it away i decided to make a feature of it by sticking a gem in the middle of the black bit i think it works even if nobody else does finally i heated the fp again for about 20 seconds and stuck the head onto it i left it to cool and then stuck it onto the background using silicone glue i created the background on the third one using golden extra heavy gel medium left it to dry ok i admit i helped it out a little bit with my heat tool and then painted over it using the same shimmery watercolours as on the one above i rubbed over it with silver metallic rub on and added a narrow border of silver embossing powder using versamark ink to stick it i created the friendly plastic flowers by cutting some small triangles of fp and arranging them in a circle so the points were touching in the centre i heated the fp up and then pressed a medium sized plastic gem into the centre i placed a small piece of shiny mesh in the centre of the atc and then stuck the fp flowers on top of it using silicone glue which also holds the mesh in place the shimmer doesn t show up well on the photo of this one and it looks much more colourful in real life if anyone knows how to take good photos of shiny things and doesn t mind sharing please let me know your secrets for the last one i also used the extra heavy gel medium for the background drew hearts in it using the end of a paintbrush and painted over it in bright pink acrylic i left it to dry and then painted over the top with metallic acrylics in shades of gold blue and purple i used two layers of friendly plastic on this one the first layer was made using four squares of fp which i placed together to make a bigger square heated and then made the holes in it using a wet embossing tool i dipped it in cold water before making each hole this stops it from sticking to the fp i put this aside and then created the heart i started by marbling some strips of fp in the same way as above except that this time i placed the strips so they were touching i didn t have a heart shaped cutter so i let the fp cool a little bit and then used my needle tool to cut to fp into a heart shape wetting my fingers and pulling away the bits around the edges i ve put these bits aside and will use them for another project on another day i heated the bottom layer of fp for about 20 seconds and then stuck the heart on top i stuck it onto the background with silicone glue and then added a heart at the bottom using micro beads posted by sian at 13 55 00 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook

circles whatever you make must have a circle on it somehere i started off with a circle of makin s clay which i d rolled with lace over the top to get the texture i then made the face using a mould and stuck it on and added some rolled strands of clay for the hair i made holes at the top and bottom using a fine embossing tool when it was dry i painted it with black acrylic and added some shimmer using a mixture of mica powders and pva glue finally i added beads which i attached with with wire and some black thonging posted by sian at 13 46 00 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to

this month s swap on uk stampers which is on a da vinci theme i m also using one of the da vinci santa atcs which i ve posted pictures of below somewhere these are all done in a similar way firstly i made a versamark resist background by stamping the background in versamark ink and then inking over it i then stamped over it with a text stamp and finally added the main image over that i m not sure if i like the bright one as i m not convinced that the bright colours really work with this stamp posted by sian at 00 10 00 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to

astrid details of which can be found here this is the page i have done for nicks on the theme instructions for life this one really got me thinking i started with a mountboard background and coloured it with distress inks and spritzed it with water and cosmic shimmer spray i stamped the brickwork onto it using brown ink and then the clocks and the phrase at the bottom in black i stamped the face in the middle firstly straight onto the page so i knew where it would be positioned and then on a separate piece of card and coloured it in yellow and orange inks this ties it in with the colour scheme on nicks original page i added streaks of gold metallic rub on coming out from where the face was going to be positioned to look like sun rays and then stuck the face on next i created some words and phrases some stamped and some handwritten and inked them in matching colours i painted some grungeboard letters with acrylic paints in matching colours and stuck them on around the face then covered some grungeboard hearts with orange embossing powder and stamped into them i then stuck on the hearts and the various words and phrases posted by sian at 23 56 00 no comments email this

carol v on docrafts the top one was made using two different types of image transfer the background is book text which i coloured using distress inks i then added the flowers using a mod podge image transfer technique the main image is a gel medium image transfer onto a piece of linen and iadded some cut out flowers at the corners i actually changed this slightly after i took the photo by the addition of the words little flower but i m far too lazy to take another photo and it s too dark anyway so you ll just have to imagine what it looks like i m a bit disappointed because i ordered some new gel medium and some texturising and modelling pastes which i had hoped to play with today i had an email telling me they were posted first class yesterday so spent most of today looking out for the post office van because they never ring the doorbell well it turned up eventually during the half hour in which i was out picking up the boys from school i have spent tonight practically begging matt to go to the sorting office for me in the morning because i m in work for the rest of the week and won t be able to go until saturday anyway back to the atcs on the second one i alcohol inked the corners of the card they re shiny cards and it was the only thing i could get to stick i again added book text for the background and coloured it with distress inks i cut out the circles and inked them in distress ink as well then stuck them down and spritzed the whole thing with water so the ink woudl run a bit around the edges of the circles i cut out the image of the little boy and stuck him on and then cut out the jester s hat from pieces of book text and inked it finally i stuck some more inked book text to the back of the metal star added the works little star and attached it using a brad for the last one i again used book text and distress ink for the background and then layered on some paper that i created whilst experimenting with mica powders a couple of days ago it s done in the same way as the backgrounds on my mica powder atcs below but using a light beige coloured paper i then layered on the musical notes the picture of the girl the crown and the words and added a heart gem to finish it off umm i think i ve caught prettyitis again pink and flowers in two atcs in one day does anybody know a good cure posted by sian at 21 19 00 4 comments email this blogthis

powders on picking up some of the powder and some of the pva and water on my brush and picking up a different colour powder with each dip of the brush the effect doesn t really show up very well on
