Small Things

 Hi everyone. It's time for another new challenge at Try It On Tuesday.

Thank you Tracey from New Beginnings...Creating in My Corner for being the guest designer for our fantasy challenge. And let me say a  big thank you to everyone who joined our last challenge as well.

This time at TIOT we've got a challenge theme that can be taken a lot of ways. This time we're looking for

SMALL THINGS


I made a set of ATC's because they are smaller than most journal pages, and the theme I went with was small things with a big impact.


I think you can get where I'm coming from with these 3 ATC's. 


    I inked each card by rubbing an ink pad over it, and I also outlined the edges with a different colored ink pad. The stamps on each card come from an old Hero Arts Set that had 20 small image stamps. The only image not from that set is the baby bottle, and that is an old Cheery Lynn design die cut.

     The rings are stamped, colored with metallic markers and then  I used a bit of glitter on the stone. The drinks glass have glitter glue in the drink and then a bit of glossy accents to make the glass, and the bottle had some white glitter glue in it (which didn't stay white with my ink 😕), and then some glossy accents over that. I colored and outlined the nipple part of the bottle.


The words come from some various rubber stamps. The rings have the "title of the set" stamp on them which is why that one is stamped on white paper and not directly on the card.


There's so many ways to go with this challenge you should check out the other designer's pieces. Remember you have 2 weeks to join in, and all types of art are accepted.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, and I hope you're thinking small.

Fantastic ATC's Erika, the are beautiful small works of art.
Many of my friends in the crafting family, came from swapping Atc's when they were first popular in the UK.
Thats a memory from years ago.
