ATC Kit Swap

Weather rotten, so crafting on the cards again ! These are four made up ATC's from a UK Stampers ATC Kit Swap I organised. Each of 10 participants produces a kit of pieces to be made into an ATC. These are my first four. From top left clockwise the contributors are Eilo, Tasha, Angel and Di. Thanks to them for their super kits.

Black & White Inchies

Well I finally emerged from a period of being very, very busy at work. I have struggled lately to meet a lot of deadlines for swaps and challenges which I have subscribed to.........but have learned my lesson. A few at a time is good, but too many can definately bog you down. Anyway this is one I have just completed. The challenge was to make 25 inchies on a theme of black and white for UK Stampers Forum. So here are my 25 and I hope you like them.

Time Card

Here is a card that I made for the 65th birthday of a relative of mine. I actually bought him a lovely watch as a pressy and thought something on the theme of time appropriate.

I used a plain white 5 x 5 inch card as a base and stamped around the edge with a stamp depicting the automatic winder from watches in black Stazon. Then I stamped a watch and clock collage stamp onto a piece of white card in black Stazon and matted this onto a piece of holographic card. The card was coloured by sponging with Ranger distress inks in weathered wood and shabby shutters before applying to the card. Two large watch face stamps were stamped with Versamark onto violet card and heat embossed with fine detail gold EP. These were cut out and mounted with foam pads onto the background mat. The words Tick, Tock were prepared and mounted in the same way after winding fine violet wire around them. Finally three red flat backed gems were added to simulate jewels in the watch mechanisms.
