:: ATC for Wild Orchid Crafts ::

I really love making my ATC´s! Today I have four ATC with handmade faces on. 

For the faces I used moulds and paper clay. When the faces was dry I painted them with black Gesso and added Metallique Wax Vintage Gold from Prima.

Behind the faces, or maybe masks are a more correct word for them, I added feathers in black and purple. I also used sissal in gold. Below the sissal I used beautiful metal frames or plaquettes from Wild Orchid Crafts. Around the flowers I used Micro Beads from 13arts and some cool mica flakes in purple also from 13arts. To get some sparkle I used loose glitter from Prima Finnabair. I just love the small tube containers with glitter from Prima!

From Wild Orchid Crafts I used Purple Open Roses 10mm. I painted some flowers with black Gesso. The flowers I painted are Cherry Blossoms, Sweetheart Blossoms Flowers and Open Roses in the size10 mm. Then I added some of the Vintage Gold Wax from Prima on all flowers.

Today I have some ATC made for a challenge at Scraphuset. The theme was autumn and I was inspired by all the warm and orange colors outside. But for me autumn also mean that the days getting shorter and darker. Therefore I used black for my background. It was a bit challenging to take good photos of the copper shades.

 First I made the frames with a mould and paper clay. Then I painted the frames with black Gesso and added some Metallique Wax Rich Copper from Prima. The beautiful images are from a website with free photos. I mounted them on the back of the frames.

 The copper gears are from Wish. I also added Glass Glitter and Micro Beads in Copper from Prima.

 For my backgrounds I used black Cardstock and mesh boght at the section for wallpaper and paint. It´s for smoothing joints on the wall. Also perfect for cool textures! With a very light pressure I added more of the Wax over the mesh. Behind the frames I added lace and painted the lace with black Gesso. I also added some Wax on the lace.

:: ATC - After Dark ::

Last weekend I met up with my dear friends Ulrika and Nina for some creative time together. I managed to finish two editions of ATC. This is my second one. If you scroll down you find the first one. I actually started some in the onelayer technique but they I will show you later, when they are completed ;)

For these ATC I wanted to make something over the top with too much of everything! I think I pulled it off! I started off with some frames made with moulds and paperclay. I painted them with the Sparks Fairy Wings Acrylic Paint. My backgrounds was already made and a find in a box when I did my tidy up in my studio. I stamped them with a checker print stamp and they were ready to go.

I added a black feather, some black Sisal and some gold thread before adding the frames with Gel medium. Last I added Glass Glitter and Micro Beads in gold. The Dragonflies are from The Dusty Attic and the words from Kaisercraft.
