The Tag-along (and ATCs) Challenge started this month. I've already made a tag, so I thought I'd have a go at making an ATC. I usually make 7"x 5" or 6"x 6" cards, so it was a challenge to make something much smaller.
The ATC measures 3 1/2" x 2 1/2". I covered a piece of card with a snippet of patterned paper from The Range and corner rounded the corners. I doodled a pattern around the edge using a dark green fineliner pen..... no idea why it looks blue in the photo! The leaves and flowers are stamps from a Two Jays 'Funky Flowers' set, a recent purchase from a charity shop and they had their first outing. I stamped the leaves on the ATC in Versafine Clair 'Rain Forest' and again on a snippet of green card. I fussy cut the leaves on the green card and paper pieced them on the ATC. I stamped the flowers and centres with Versafine Clair 'Shady Lane, fussy cut them and glued onto the ATC. The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year' set, stamped with 'Rain Forest'. Three tiny yellow pearls finished off my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:
A second make to share today, a card made for a 19 year old neighbour who completed the London Marathon recently for the first time. The run was made even more difficult due to the unusually hot weather for this time of year.
I used a die and stamps from the Crafter's Companion 'Celebrate your success' set. The layered, punched stars are attached to the card with foam pads.
I added a piece of blue card behind on the inside to show through the 'CELEBRATE' when the card is closed.
