Hearts and Wings with Additions - traded

This is my ATC from Ed's Place with words added - think I like this one better ..
It is available for trading/swapping if you like it, please leave a comment and let me know.

EDIT: This card is now winging it's way across the Big Pond to U.S.A.

Thinking of You - available

This is another Beeswax ATC - I love how it softens the image. I deliberately left the wax a bit thicker in places to give my ATC an 'aged' look.
I don't use any expensive tools, just a jug of boiling water to keep an old flat knife in ( to spread the wax) a wooden Macdonalds coffee stirrer to stir the wax, an old spoon to ladle it out of it's little stainless steel bowl, and my heat gun, to manipulate the wax round my cards ....the only other tool is a pair of tweezers to pull the bowl of wax on and off my hob...so you don't need state of the art expensive stuff, which I couldn't afford anyway, I use what I have to hand, and it works for me........after stamping I just used a few faux jewels to break up the flatness of the ATC ..

Puppy Love - available

I just traded an ATC with Kirsten, and she sent me some lovely doggy ribbon and doggy brads - I will enjoy using them ..here's one example .......I just added the tiny red PAWS

Beeswax Valentine - traded

I had enormous fun making this beeswax valentine. Got it together in the end, and I think it looks ok - the image is Crafty Individuals and the words Paper Artsy. The only thing that went wrong was the wax went right through the card, but since it doesn't show on the right side, no problems :-) If you look carefully, there is an impression of a heart on the right hand side - didn't go as deep into the wax as I would have liked, but it was stamped with red ink.

This ATC will soon be winging it's way across the big pond to Canada as a gift.

Ice Blue Indian - traded

The Indian is a Joanna Sheen image, and the metal tag saying is by Senti-Metals. I just added a couple of faux gems top and bottom, because I felt simplicity was the key for this ATC.

Life's Journey for Cats - traded

EDIT : These two little moggies have found a new home, well, one has, but I decided to send the two together :-)

Warm and Cosy - Available

i was looking through my Christmas stamps and found this tiny House Mouse stamp. The background is Peeled Paint Distress ink dabbed on with a hard stipple brush and tiny blue snowflakes.

Fun in the Snow - Available

I made this ATC using a glittered chipboard tag and the same complementary stamp, which I used to stamp the 4 black and white images of the background.

This atc was made using 3 photographic images by Crafty Individuals and some faux diamonds..

I made these for an Alphabet swap a while ago - and made similar doubles of each one. I was pleased with how the artists palette turned out - I used Crystal Lacquar colours (the ones that still work, not very thrilled with them though because the colours are not stable - my green purple and brown all look more or less the same now ..
EDIT - The ARTIST PALETTE has now gone to a new home.
EDIT - The CHURCH has gone to a new home also

Heart - Traded

The scan doesn't do the gold embossing on this atc justice .....

EDIT - This ATC has now gone to a new home.
