Gelli print + cut and paste ATC's

I love to use my gelli prints as backgrounds for my ATC's.  I should probably add more doodling or something to them but am unsure and maybe even scared I will ruin them... I added cut and paste images from Hidden Vintage Studios to both cards. The top one has some rub-ons added and then they both have sayings cut from a magazine.

I am what I am - ATC

For this artist trading card I used one of my gelli prints for the background. The head is one of my hand drawings that I colored in with sharpies and I placed her on a body from Tumble Fish Studio. Flake is a magazine cut out. Added some ink pen around the edges.

Plastic jug on an ATC

There was a challenge to use plastic from a milk jug on an ATC. 

I used copper metal tape that I dry embossed for my background. Stamped the image and cut it out, distressed it. Then placed the piece of milk jug on top. secured with big eyelets and ran some metal wire through the holes. 'Generations' was stamped, cut and distressed. Added to the top for a finish.

They are addicting and trading them is fun.

2 Valentine ATC's

Here are a couple more ATC's I made with a Valentine's theme. 

The first one I used a piece of lace, a stamped and cut out heart with feathers behind it and the word love stamped on top. The arrows were a stamp that was cut out too. The background is red cardstock and a piece of old torn book paper and 3 red gems.

 This next one I used a Hello Kitty cut out I received in a swap back in my Cricut days. I then stamped hugs & kisses onto the balloon. A piece of lace down one edge with some red gems. Background is red cardstock with old music paper that I white washed.

ATC and weather update!

I made this atc into a file folder and on the inside has all the details about Christina's life. 

I thought it would be a fun way to do an atc for "what's in a name" theme.

 

This is the kind of temps we've been dealing with for the last 2 days.  Last night we had wind chills of -40F. We luckily didn't lose power. We did get lots of snow too, and the roads are not very good.

 School is closed again tomorrow...

But hey there is a warm up on the way!

Baby its cold outside!

They are calling for extremely cold air here in Indiana.

 (As well as some other states)

We've already been seeing temps below zero but tomorrow is when it starts to get really bad.  Heavy snow 8-12 inches, with blizzard like conditions, actual life threatening temps of -20 to -25 and the wind chills -50. Coldest air we've had in 20-30 years. 

We're in the black.

We will all just stay inside where it's safe and warm.  

Lets hope there are no power outages.
