creating with MISFITS!!!

As a Designer, I accumulate many “Misfits”,
pieces parts that never made it onto a creation…
flowers, leaves, textiles etc.
Every once in a while I like to have a free create time
using my “Misfits”!

Here are three ATC’s I created!

I began with (3) Canvas Corp Brands ~ Canvas ATC’s.

Using The Crafter’s Workshop ~ Mini Texturized Template
and Distress Markers along with a bit of spritzed water,
I created my background to my ATC’s.

Here is a close up of the ATC’s,

I just love the effect I achieved when I spritzed the

Distress Markers on the Canvas ATC’s.

HINT: Spritz the backside of the Canvas ATC’s,

especially if you will be drying with a Heat Tool.

I then pulled out my “Misfits” to complete my ATC’s.
Here are my finished little Darlings!!

Hope you enjoyed my free create and I encourage you
to whip up something using your
“MISFITS”

THANK YOU ATC'S

I LOVE creating ATC's...
just to see how much
CREATIVE goodness I can fit
on a 2.5" x 3.5" space.

I decided to try an experiement....
I took one of each of the
Splash of Color ATC's
Corrugated Kraft, White and Black
along with the Birch ATC.

I lined them up and created each one exactly the same....
I pulled out my basket of Silks ~ Acrylic Glaze.
Now....this product is a bit transparent in nature
so I wanted to see how it would respond
on each of the different colored backgrounds.

Here is the White Corrugated ATC...
and yes those are mini puzzle pieces...
adhered with Black Gesso
and colored with Viva Colour Inka Gold ~ Orange.
See that amazing sparkle from the
Viva Colour German Glitter ~ Gold.

The easiest to tell was the Birch...
I just love how the Sikl Acrylic Glaze
flowed with the wood grain.

Here is the Black Corrugated ATC.
hint hint....I dabbed on a pile of
Viva Colour Modeling Cream ~ Champagne
and used it as an adhesive to hold down the mesh.

Last but not least,
the Kraft Corrugated ATC.

I will be adhering these little darlings
to the face of a few cards...
and sending them out as THANK YOU's to
my friends!!
