Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge #144 - Things with Wings

I found some Iris Folding patterns on Michael's Blog so set out to make some ATCs.
I printed all my papers on my PC, my background on cards and my folding papers on thin paper.

After I finished the folding I outlined the Butterfly with white gelpen and added a sentiment.

I can't wait for the summer to come and bring the butterflies back!

I am linking this card to Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge  - Bookworm or Things with Wings

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge #141

I have a couple of comic magazines that I brought back from France so I am well equipped to enter this Challenge.  Trouble is  .... trying to find suitable pages I can use!

I managed to find a page to cut up, which I forgot to photograph, but I can assure you these squares came from the same page.  I attached a picture to three pieces of card and then searched through my 'Words' box for suitable sentiments.
This is a 'Wicked' challenge so I looked at the pictures and for words with a slightly 'wicked' view.  The story is about Donald Duck reading a book, ignoring his nephews so that they have to get their own back - brings back memories of my childhood ..... I loved reading .....

 With a strip of blue/gold ribbon down the side I added a vellum 'FAMILY' so that the ducks could be seen in the state of disarray.  The other three sides were swiped through an inkpad to edge the card in the relevant colours.

I think those nephews are getting mighty sick of Donald reading .... the words say it all!  I made this card in the same way but 'touched' the ink pads over the sentiment before attaching it to the card.

I love this card!  Not just because I recycled the sentiment but because it is soooo appropriate ..... I can just hear me ....
Once again I made the card in the same way, sometimes cards just 'fall' together and these three were just like that.

I shall enter this one into the Challenge as it makes me smile!!

UPDATED:-  I'm a winner!!!!!

Wicked Wednesday #138 Fairy Wonderland

This challenge has the word 'Fairy' so how can  resist?!?  I have already made some backgrounds using a stencil but I was only 'practising' at the time ....
With Wicked Wednesday ATCs Challenge in mind I sat looking at the ATCs and thinking .... nothing.
With the ATCs in front of me I sat looking around at my containers of embellishments ....
I spotted some net, and some punched flowers which I had heat embossed.....
So here is my ATC ...

I wrapped the stencilled ATC in net, using Washi tape to secure it to the back.  I added some of the embossed flowers in the corners and, using a cottonbud rolled over a gold inkpad, stamped the centres.
I cut a strip of the leftover netting and tied it into a bow, trimming the tails short.  A dry embossed word cut into a tag shape was attached with a glue dot, and the bow, to the top left hand corner of the ATC.
This fairy is making some magic in her mysterious world - who can tell where the magic will land? ......

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge #111

I am busy trying to get most of my ATCs and cards ready for December - me being ahead!?!?!  Gotta be a first!
I saw this Challenge and it gave me the inspiration to create a Red ATC for my Colour Swap of the Month with my Yahoo Group (UK ATC)


I used Red Stripe and Red Spotted Washi Tape to frame a pink card and then cut out a sentiment.  I very gently dabbed the sentiment onto an inkpad, wiped the ink off with tissue and then applied glue stick to add it to the card.  I have several of these Flower Fairy tags, another recent find in my stash, so I stripped most of the backing from the Fuschia Fairy (she never felt a thing!) and added it at an angle on the card.  A red heart finished off the corner.

I will enter this bright and cheerful card in to the Challenge.

Wicked Wednesday Challenge #81

The challenge is - Things with Wings - so it has to be my favourite thing with wings - Tinkerbell!

This is Tinkerbell goth style!  
 I wish I had kept the link to where I found her but I didn't ....if it's your sketch, please contact me so that I can give you credit.
I printed the image onto a pre-printed background, coloured her with watercolour pencils and gel pens.  Added glitter to her wings, and printed out the word.  

Wishes - thinks I'm doing the dishes, huh!!!

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge #80

Black and White and / or one other colour.
Now at first you might think that I have coloured the wrong image but no............ I'm a gardener, flowers will always be at the front!

I fussy cut the digi and then chose base paper to match the flower.  I coloured the rose with watercolour pencils and then added the peeloff. 

they so have Style on my ATC..........

here they are in nature ..... .

Dog Roses

My favourite flower - the rose.  There is a hedge of these flowers planted on an estate nearby ........... when it's in flower it is simply gorgeous!
