As some periodical readers of my blog may know, I HATE HEARTS as a design. But Valentine´s Day is approaching, and I´ve been crazy enough to sign up for a Love themed swap ... what a challenge for a person like me ...
I´ve made eight ATCs with exactly this week´s Wednesday Stampers´ theme "Mona Madness" for a swap in October, six of them stamped, so just click on my posts Mona Madness and Hostess Monas in the October blog archives if you want to see them all . Here´s one of the Hostess ATCs again.
This is my first ATC for the Collage Cats´ artpARTy. I love the idea of visiting the group´s Saturday night art folder instead of visiting a museum ... Maybe this lady is a bit too rusty to win the tour, but her bike isn´t.
Time is one of my favourite themes, but it hasn´t been easy to find a stamp that hasn´t already been used by one of the other Wednesday Stampers this week ... So here´s a rare one from Peddler´s Pack, combined with stamps from Unicorn and my favourite alphabet shining through.
This is an ATC I couldn´t scan because of the "teardrops". I´ve borrowed a camera and cut out the image with Photoshop - excuse my faults, I´m still learning ... But it´s three times better than the scan. The words are part of a poem by Rilke.
Another one with lock and key - I like the ghostly look of the girl in front of this mysterious coloured door as if the whole scene took place in another world.
Quite colourful again, this ATC is for the Wednesday Stampers shapes theme. One of my favourite shapes lately have been wings - I love how they sometimes alter the character of an image and how many different forms there are, each with another character.
Yesterday I´ve made a front page ATC for my favourite Yahoo group "Paper Traders" where we have a weekly rotation of front page art. Maybe you recognize two of the ATCs the graces hold, they are in this blog.
