ATCs For All - Decades 1930s

I love entering the Decades swaps - but this one was very interesting ..... I needed to look at these years.
I settled on creating film titles but which ones?
Blue Angel

I have no idea what this film is about which is perhaps a good thing!!!
So I found this little drawing of an angel - unknown artist at present - and decided to 'customise' her to fit the title.  I removed her wings and coloured her with Promarkers, colouring over her pink body with a very pale blue.  I brightened up her dress with a very bright blue, leaving the edges white.  I touched up her halo with a gold pen - she's a good girl and needs a golden halo!  I coloured a feather with a blue inkpad and left to one side to dry, I then cut it up to match up with some 'wings' I found on the web.  I attached my beautiful angel to a background of stars and hearts.


Charlie Chan and the Jade Mask

I know it 's not jade green but it's the nearest I had!

It's a piece from my embossed master board and attached to the left side of the card.
I used the screens and fan that I won in Robyn's giveaway some time ago.
I then highlighted the screens' area with green and peuce to match the embossed piece.



Little Women

I love this story and didn't know that was first made into a film in this era, Katherine Hepburn playing Jo.
I found a background I could use from one of my Parisian Estate Agents mag so coloured the card base to match the main colour theme.  I found a McCalls paper pattern which showed just the dresses I needed so I printed this out three times, just in case I cut it out wrong as I knew what I wanted to do but  .....
I cut out the main dress leaving the trim etc.  exactly the same as 'Mama Africa' ATCs.  I then attached her to the background, sliding the smaller ladies behind her.


Top Hat
After looking at several posters for this film, I decided to go with the title theme.
I found a picture of top hats which were just perfect,so I printed it out twice and fussy cut out all those hats ....  Among many posters for this film I found one that showed Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing on the Top Hat, this would be my focal point.
I started by painting the base card with Twinkling H2Os pink and put to one side to dry.
I then layered everything onto the card and covered the whole with a layer of clear glue and left it to dry.  The glue gives a shiney finish to the card although it doesn't really show up here.......
