Artist Experiments......

This is an old post from my last blog... but feeling the want to repost it... so apologies to any of you who were following me back in February 2014.. cos here it is again........ For new followers, here is an Arty Experiment using bits and bobs and embellies (subtle direction push to That Craft Place if you need any embellie bits! :-) ) (only it wasn't that subtle was it??  Oh Well! LOL)

Soooooooooooo.. after a weekend "celebrating" something that has slipped my mind but was worth celebrating at the time.. I wanted to play, but had no idea what..... and this is what happened! ...... xxxxx


Bit of an Arty Experiment

which worked!!!   Well.. I think it did!! :-)

Hello.. sorry I have not blogged for ages, been busy and well.. busy!!  But I went to a party last weekend, and there must be something in the dishwasher chemicals my friend uses, cos I felt rather fragile the next day...  Must have been the chemicals.. can't have been the wine now can it!!!

Anyway..  I wanted to craft, but my brain was full of cotton wool and I had no inspiration at all... so I decided to play with all my new "Messy Stuff" and see what happened.....  and this did....

(long post.. hope you are comfy!!)

Right.. I took a sheet of A4 card stock, and I randomly spritzed it with misting sprays etc....


The cat helped.....

Then I randomly stamped all over it....


Then I stuck a stamped sheet of ATCs on the back.. which I wrote on AND numbered, so I couldn't cheat and not make the full set!


And cut them all out........


Then I was a Very Big and Very Brave Girlie.....  and I dived into my Crafty Stuff.. and... Shock Horror.. I Used Some of it... It was a shock to the system.. but I have now recovered!!!  Here are my 9 totally random background Artified ATCs











I am sooooooo chuffed with them......  so I made them a new ATC Book to live in  (nearly finished.. promise, but I did tell you it was a long blog!!!)

Outside cover......


Inside cover...


 Inserts.... (I have fallen totally in love with Washi Tape!!)


Assembled....


 and finally all decorated....



Phew!  You will be please to know.. thats all!   Good job I don't blog very often if they are this length!!!

Right.. off I toodles..  Got some more Arty Type stuff to do to so I can fill my new book!!!
Happy Crafting all, and if you stayed with me to the end.. Gold Star to you!!! (and please leave me a comment...  makes me feel like I have friends then! LOL! x)

  3. I love this. I like making ATC'S and used to swap them a couple of years ago but seem yo keep missing them now. Like how you set up a group to make several in one go.
