May ATC's

At the Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo Group, there was a challenge for making a Wendified (yes, that's a word) ATC. I created mine for my bestie Paula who is about to go on a creative trip with me. She never reads my blog, much to my chagrin, so it's okay that I show it before she gets it. As it happens, Hels Sheridan's Sunday Stamper challenge this week is "queens & crowns", and The Stamp Man Challenge is "card for a queen" so this was perfect!

 

This month at the All Things Tim Yahoo Group the ATC swap challenge is "yellow".  You will remember these brightly dressed cuties from my A Man's Home Is His Castle. They were my extras. I knew I would use them for something.

Supplies For Treat Me Like A Queen ATC:
Art Chix Studio- crown



Supplies For Warm Season Trio:
From My Stash- flower


I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

Shattered Stains Butterflies

This week at Studio L3's Compendium of Curiosities II Challenges, the 5th technique is Tim's "shattered stains", and this challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. The technique is so gorgeous and really takes a project to a whole new level.

I created my background with Distress Stain and Distress Ink. The images are all stamped in Adirondack Paint Dabbers.

 

 

 

Supplies:
From My Stash- metal heart charm, metal key charms
