Bird ATC

The bird stamp is from Stampotique.com. I stamped her on the paper and then just doodled around her. I think it kind of looks like heads in the black background, it just happened that way.. I colored it all in with Sharpie markers.

A vintage couple.  While out at antiques stores and flea markets I came across MGM Movies Game, actually my hubby found it! It's a box of photo trivia game from 1984. It has 107 old photos from movies in it with questions and answers on the back.  This picture is one from Gone With The Wind. I used my i-rock setter for the center of the flowers. Found a quote from the movie online.

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.
