First up, an art journal page I did in a friend's journal.
I used some gelli-prints for the background.
Next are some ATCs I made for various swaps this past week.
Black and white sender's choice. I actually made three of these, one to keep, two to swap. :) The background is plain black cardstock stamped with embossing ink, then embossed with clear powder. I added a bit of white acrylic paint and lots of butterflies punched out of security envelopes.
I used gelliprint background and also for the butterflies. I set a stencil over the paper, applied glass bead gel medium, then pulled the stencil away. It left the shape of the butterfly, which I cut around, then glued down and outlined.
More gelliprints, glass bead gel and some washi tape, butterflies and embossed stamping.
I was trying to clear out some of my stuff, and put this together. I sent it as an extra in a private swap. :)
The next three ATCs nearly caused a riot on Instagram! I made them to swap with a few people I had already told I would trade with, so they weren't really available except to those three, but there were a few people who really wanted them! I ran out of copper wire, and need to order more. Clearly these were a popular item!!
I tied a yellow ribbon around the tree... I don't think anyone really got the significance of that.
The second one I didn't unfurl the branches at first, but before I sent it I will.
This is the third one. I made one more for a swap I am hosting on Swap Bot, but so far no one has signed up for the swap. It's still a week or two away, though. If they don't I know I won't have any trouble trading it!
