Anything but a card:Challenge 37 Open

This months challenge over at Anything but a card challenge blog is an open theme. You can do anything you want, as long as its NOT a card.

I made some atc's using things that were on my desk or near by me.

All were made on a piece of mat board. And the font I used for all is called groovy baby.

This one is probably my favorite our of the bunch. While I was digging through my envelope of collage fodder I saw her and thought she would be good on an ATC. The background image was from a book. I thought it would be cool to do a packing tape transfer with it. It kinda failed. but I still used it. I glued it on to the matte board. I cut the girl out did have to trim her a bit so she can fit on the atc. I then backed her on one of the tags from the tag pad by Prima so she was a little more sturdy. I used foam tape to put on the atc. The quote I got from Brainyquote.com Its from Marilyn Monroe.

This one I used matte medium to glue pink tissue paper on the the mat board. After that dried I took some of my gesso and my pallet knife on a hexagon stencil. I took a circle plastic canvas and sprayed Dylusions Bubble Gum Pink through it. I stamped the girl(from October Afternoon Midway collection) on white card stock with Black Versafine ink pad. I colored her skin with Faber Castell watercolor crayon. The rest I colored in with Inktense color pencils.used foam tape to put her on the ATC the quote is from Dr. Seuss.

This ATC I started out with gluing a scrap of scrapbook paper(Newsworthy from Paper Studio) onto the Mat Board. I then glued the dress form and the flower. While that was drying I stamped the Julie Nutting girl on book paper. colored her skin and hair with Faber-castell watercolor crayons. I dressed her with Cartographer ATC pad(though its 4x6) by Prima. I stamped the Eiffel Tower on to the background Then attached her. The quote is from Mae West.

I glued a napkin on the white side of the mat board with matte medium. The heart was made from a piece of corrugated cardboard and sprayed with after midnight Dylusion spray. I glued that to the ATC. The Julie Nutting girl I made for another project but never used, I glued her on the ATC.  The quote is from Charles Shultz. 

These 2 are the same just using different colors. Before gluing the Vellum (from Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers Rubber stamps (remember them from back in the day?! :P) that I had in my stash, I used my pearlesent water colors from Artist loft and color the background. Then I glued the vellum with matte medium. I took the plastic canvas circle and sprayed the top ATC with the bubble gum pink Dylusion spray. I then took the plastic canvas and turned it onto the other ATC and it picked up some other color that was in it besides the pink. I stamped the party girl from Julie Nutting onto book paper. color her skin and hair. The top dress the paper is by TCP Studios, her balloon is white cardstock that I later colored pink with a pink pen. The bottom dress is from The Create Collection and her .balloon is from Fab Scraps. The quotes are both by Dr. Seuss.
