A Few Small Makes

Hi Everyone, I hope you are well this Sunday.  We survived the past two days in the forties and although the temperature today was a little cooler the humidity was a killer.  Rain has been threatening but never seems to arrive.

I managed to find a few hours today to play so went diving through some vintage images on a CD of them I purchased some years ago and printed off some.  Here's a few ATC's I made today using the vintage images and some of my handmade backgrounds.

I am entering this second ATC into the current Challenge at the Three Muses - which is Color Me Happy, create Art that makes you Happy.  Playing with my Splash Inks on my Gelli Plate and then using the backgrounds to make ATC's all makes me Happy.

The backgrounds for the first two are Gelli Prints, the third is simply a scrap I used to blot up excess spray inks when using them last.  I am going post these to the Athon currently happening at AFA and see if someone is interested in a trade.

I have a few more on the go for swaps which I will share a bit later in the week, but for now that's all folks.

Cards in Envy - Now that's Scary!

Hi Everyone, it's time for another great challenge at Cards in Envy!  This week we are moving from a little bit retro to the theme of a little bit scary with Halloween in mind.

I'm a cat lover so couldn't resist using this cute vintage image from an Altered Pages Collage Sheet of a Black Cat which is linked to lots of Halloween and everyday superstition.  The background paper was a free digi download from the Graphics Fairy.

We want to see your most thrilling, scary or fun, card for Halloween and as always it must be flat enough to fit in an envelope for mailing with no extra postage (so an A2 card (4.25"x5.5")).
