....an ATC

....THEN WHAT??!??!

Howdy Peeps.....

Lynne Forsythe here for another Guest Design Team post
over at Eclectic Paperie!

I have quite the affection for ATC's.

Such a little tiny space...

to stretch the design skills....

Here is my latest ATC I've create.....

How much goodness
can you pack onto a 2.5" x 3.5" surface??!??!

I collaged on some of Christy Tomlinson's
Coffee Filter Paper using
Multi Medium ~ Matte.

Then I colored on the collaged paper
with 50's Diner Gelatos.
With a wet paint brush I blended the colors.

Using The Crafter's Workshop template,
I applied some Gesso over the collage
and then applied "Blood Orange" Gelato
over the gesso!

Whipped up a little banner....
from the "Unforgettable" collection by MME,
stapled it to the ATC with
my Tiny Attacher.

Of course I had to stick on a flower cluster.
I colored the flowers with the
same "50's Diner" gelatos.

Now....my question always was/is...
What do you do with the little ditties after
you've had sooo much fun making them?!??!

Adorn the face of a card....
and send it to a friend!!

Hope I've inspired you to try one out...
if you never have before!!

Guest DT ~ Eclectic Paperie

Howdy Peeps...

I am BEYOND EXCITED to have been

asked to be May's Guest Designer
for Eclectic Paperie.

Totally and HONOR and a PRIVILEGE!

For my first creation, I made a canvas.

I began by placing an Artist Stencil by Donna Downey/Prima
on a Canvas Corp ~ 6" x 6" Stretched Canvas.
I painted Multi Medium ~ Matte through the stencil.

I then, colored on the Canvas with various "blue" Gelatos.
Spritzed the canvas with water and "mushed" the colors
around with a paintbrush.
I stamped randomly on the canvas with 

Jet Black Archival Ink
and Christy Tomlinson/Unity Stamps ~ Tattered Chicken Wire.

Now.....It JUST wouldn't be me if
a FLOWER was not involved in my creations.

I diecut 2" circles from

Christy Tomlinson/Pink Paislee's Coffee Filter Sheets

(LOVE LOVE LOVE)

and My Mind's Eye ~ Collectable "Unforgettable" 

6" x 6" paper pad.

I colored the Coffee Filter Sheets with

50's Diner ~ Faber-Castell Gelatos

and spritzed to spread the AWESOME color.

Then I folded the circles in half and

then created a tri~fold and with

my Tiny Attacher, stapled the point. 

I adhered the "Petals" to a diecut
circle and embellished with
Wendy Vecchi's ~ Silver Berry Flower Centers.

I hope you enjoyed my Canvas.
Join me next week
for another little "Loverly"!!!
