It's a first....

Always a first time for every thing in life.
ATC it's a first. Having being inspired by so many
friends and the fab DT at Happy Little Stampers,
 I decided to give this a go.

Using TH Crazy birds mini birds n things.
Background is a TH stencil and DI sponged on.




Challenge:
Happy Little Stampers
A few rules for creating ATCs -
• measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches (64 X 89 mm)
• be traded for other cards - not sold
• be flat enough to fit into a plastic trading card sleeve


*******************************************
Christmas came early for me today..

thank you  Sylvia and Nellie Snellen [candy win]
for these gorgeous stamps.

AND
thank you...
Memory Box...Outside the Box challenges
for these fabulous dies
[and I don't even have these]

Annie, so perfect for an ATC, great background and love that little Crazy bird :)

Lisa Lynn said...

Annie, that is wonderful ATC. I have never made one yet myself so you are more daring than I am, hehe.

Kylie said...

Well done for trying out your first ATC! It is brilliant. I have just started up a Worldwide ATC trading group on Facebook if you are interested. That's what creating ATCs is all about :)

Oh Annie, I can't believe that was your first ATC. It is charming and adorable. I've been making ATCs for more than 14 years. In fact, it was one of he first things I made because it helped me learn a bit about composition. Your ATC is both adorable and well done. You had a background, a foreground, and a sentiment, all that was needed for a successful ATC.

If you decide to collect them, you will want to get 3-hole binder sleeves that hold nine ATCs on one side, and if you don't need to see the artist's name and info, you can put nine more on the flip side. You can purchase an ATC back that you stamp onto the back to share your information, or you can make them like I do in my word processing software.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Goodness, I wrote that message and didn't understand it. I meant to say you can purchase a STAMP that will provide all the pertinent information for the back of your ATC. I hope that cleared my garbled sentence up a bit.

Hi Annie, what a fabulous card, love the Crazy Bird and your background is fab.
I've never made one either and I'm inclined to think what's the point of them, I know lots of people make them, but why not just send a proper card?? just me though, it's brilliant, Kate x

Gerrina said...

Great to see you try new things! Love the colours and background; so good for that crazy bird! The one thing to do these is to get in a mindset to think in a "smeller" way hihi... I can remember my first serie and had to think so much smaller, but now it is sometimes a relife to work smaller! Hope you are having a good start of the week!

Skye said...

A wonderful ATC. Love the Crazy Bird and great sponging

sharon said...

I adore that birds by Tim Holtz although I am a person that can colour.
The parcel you received from Sylvia is fabulous "congratulations"
Have a wonderful week.
It is very wet up here around 300ml of rain in the last week.
Luckily the sun keeps shining throughout it all.
