Joanne

This cheerful little sunflower, called sunflower
smile by Robyn's Fetish, is dancing merrily in the sunshine.
I printed the image onto printed sticky paper and again onto card. Each was coloured with Copics. The card image was cut out and fastened over the other image with a coloured brad. I punched some grass out of green patterned paper and using 3D foam stuck it to the bottom of the card. A few Prima flowers, seed beads and glossy accents on some of the sunflower petals added interest. I then distressed the edges of the card with spiced marmalade distress ink.

Debbi

This is my first ever post as a DT member and I was very excited to get the chance...
This was also my first ever ATC challenge and the first ever ATC that I have made so please be gentle - lol
When I came to work with my image I just thought card but smaller... and I think that this was the correct thing to do - I have coloured my image with pro-markers and printed out two to decoupage the second.
I layered the image on to old olive card stock and the and attached this on to the ATC blank - before I did this though I inked and distressed the edges. To the left of the ATC I added ribbon detail also in old olive and I stapled this to the side of the panel. To disguise the ribbon I then attached a further piece of the same ribbon down the side of the panel. I also added 3 card candy to the right hand side of the card.
I hope you like my first ever attempt and I have to say I really enjoyed it - even if parts were a little fiddly. lol

Helen

My first DT post too, thanks Debbie for volunteering me, and Abbie & Co for having me.
First ATC in a few years and took a few runs at it till I was happy.
Completing the trinity of alcohol markers, I've used my brand spanking new Spectrum Noir pens.
Not sure you can see the layering, but I have done a touch of decoupage (which I'm not known for), kept colouring outside the lines so gave up and cut everything out LOL.
1st layer I coloured just the centres of the flowers and their leaves, the centres have a blob of Crystal Effects (SU version of Glossy Accents/Diamond Glaze). Layer 2 is then the bird box, which I drew a stand for it on the base layer. Then last layer just the cute little birdie.
I'm gong to use it a s a topper for a card, and will have the full card on my blog after the challenge goes live.

Beverly G

I chose this cute Wakin' Up Birdie that our sponsor Robyn's Fetish generously let the design team play with this week. She's got such a variety of digis you can find almost anything to your heart's desire.

I had some old Stampin' Up textured cloud card stock in my stash. I was going for a fresh spring sunny day look with this ATC, so I printed the digi on that first. I printed it a second time on white card stock so I could color the bird with Copic markers and cut out. I always like to ground myself with a border first. I colored the birdhouse with PrismaColor Pencils and blended , colored the leaves with the pencils also. A six petal EK Sucess flower punch was just the right size, I added the tiny black dashes and the tiny yellow brads with a tiny black dot in the center, popped up the bird with a dimensional.

I think you can smell the flowers and hear the little bird chirping.

Angela

My first post too :) thanks for having me its exciting to have been asked to join you.

I chose this cute image from our sponsors Robyn's Fetish, I coloured the image with copics and then cut out with my nesties. I then mounted him onto some papermania handmade paper and a piece of dark blue card from my stash. I added the flowers and card candi as an afterthought as it didnt look quite "finished".

Suzee

Abbie

I have used some paper from a magazine to which I have added some stamped flowers and some birds. The image has been colored with whispers pens and gel pens.

Tony

I chose the flower for this challenge....and I spent ages thinking of what to do, but then decided that something simple would be better as the image is brilliant and doesn't need much distracting from it. The image is printed onto card and coloured with promarkers. I mounted it on plain green card. Border peel offs and corner peel offs just to give it a finishing touch.

Sam

I coloured the cabin and pit a frame so it looked like a wooden frame and then just added the words.

CARO'S ATC

I stamped the image, backed it onto pretty,
variagated paper, coloured with my copics
& finished off with a spica pen & some gems

Sharon

I printed this lovely image out a few times to get the brown bird house and a bird to cut out and colour. The background's swiped with distress ink and 'Sing' is highlighted with Glossy Accents. Had to put a crown on the birdy too!

Challenge 7

Theme Anything Goes/Bling

Sponsor for this fortnight is:-

Di's Digi Downloads

Here is some of the work from our DT

Joanne

This fortnight's challenge - BLING - gave me the opportunity to make a 'pretty' card. I chose an 8"x8" white card, distressed one edge in blue, wrapped around some gorgeous paper after having punched one edge, used a Tim Holtz die cut dress form cut from fancy cardstock and set to embellishing it all with paper roses, ribbon, gems, die cut leaves, gem stems, stickles and a little butterfly.

Beverly G

It looks like I've got a small flashing bling billboard for Love. I love black, white, and red, together. I know Valentine's will be over before this challenge starts, but what's wrong with celebrating love all the time?

With Stampin' Up's Artistic Etchings stamp set, black ink, and Recollections Rhinestones on a strip, I've got a lovely ATC for you this fortnight.

Sharon

The card is made with a butterfly punched out, stamped, inked then stuck on. I added the bling for a tail then splashed some Glimmer Mist onto it. It looks a lot blingier in real life!

Abbie

I have used black card, the image is a vintage image and has been colored with pencils but very lightly, I have used a pink and white ribbon and inter twined then together. I have added some little pearls to the ribbon. To finish off I have used two pink feathers xx

Caro's ATC

I made my pretty kitty using dufex,
which is sparkly anyway,
then glammed it up with cyrstal ab and red.pink gems

Tony

I made a relatively simple ATC but used a lovely gold ribbon to edge it with and gems on the inside panel. The inside panel is made with a metallic purple paper.

Sam

I used silver ink for the mouse stamp and stuck the sequins as pearls. I glittered the heart and
added the gems for extra sparkle

CHALLENGE 6

Theme this fortnight is Flowers or Anything Goes, remember you can make an ATC or a Card or both, more importantly have fun.

Our Sponsor for this week will be

Fresh Brewed Designs

This is what our DT Team have made for you this time, please feel free to take a look at their blogs which you can find at the top of the page.

Sarah

I used the "I'm Late" image, coloured with copics, then added Crackle Accents to the clock face and glossy accents to the rim. The background stamp is by Creative Expressions and coloured with Distress Stains.

Jane

"I'm late" is colored with copics and layered on dp and cs scraps. I shrunk the digi pretty small and put the layered image on an inked up atc back. tfl

Joanne

I chose 'Love Blooms' to work with. The background card is hammered white cardstock with 'mopped up' spare ink and perfect pearls from my craft sheet. I printed the image onto white card and again onto printable acetate, coloured them both and cut them out. I layered them both using 3D foam adding the foam pads to the acetate behind the heart gems only. I off set the images for a more dimentional look. A couple of heart stick pins and some iced spruce distress ink around the edge of the card, finished it off.

Beverly G

The title of this digi is I'm Late, but it spoke to me more as What dimension am I in?

I printed the image on Whisper White card stock colored it with Copic Markers, distressed the edges and sponged the edges with Bravo Burgundy ink. The background paper is Bo Bunny and these cute gears are some Jolee's Boutique corner stickers. They made me think of spinning through time. Alice never really knew where she was in Neverland, did she?

Beverly G (again)

I have been greedy this fortnight and got two images. When I saw this Love In Bloom digi I knew that I wanted to use this little honeycomb heart on a toothpick that a dear blog friend sent to me last year in a match box swap. I printed the digi, added the text in Open Office, that's where I print my digis, then cut out the ATC.
I sponged around the whole thing with red ink very lightly, and of course, with a red Sharpie Marker I outlined the edges. I colored the hearts in the vase red and the stem and leaves green. With my craft knife I cut the leaves to create an opening to slip the honeycomb heart into and taped the toothpick to the back of the ATC. I then applied a thick coat of Glossy Accents and let it dry overnight. I decided to leave the bow white to go with the scallop edges on the honeycomb heart.

Ali

I used the "I'm late " image . Coloured with promarkers and my metalice silver gel pan . The background is made using paperartsy bubble stamp with distress inks .

Caro's ATC

Me being me, had to go with something totally different
and so used the 'ewe are sweet'.
The sheep is covered using ranger enamel
accents in white, then the rest coloured with
my copics.

Sharon

I love this Love Blooms image! I printed it out them masked it while I sprayed Glimmer Mist as background. The image is coloured with Promarkers and you can't see in the photo but another heart was cut out and stuck over to add dimension. Edges are stamped with flourishes.

Abbie

I have used white card with patterned paper, then pink glitter card. The image has been colored glitter gel pens and added to the card. I have used a heart border punch at the bottom and then added some small/bigger dots in varying shades of pink xx

Leah

Used the "ewe are sweet" digi coloured with promarkers cut out and rounded the corners . Mounted onto plain blue background and added peeloff corners to accent x

Here is what our lovely design team have been up to

I printed this lovely image"Sniffing Daisies"straight onto card. I've coloured it with my Koh-i-noor pencils and blended them with sansodor using my blending stumps. I've added glossy accents to the middle of the flowers and the bow on her dress and band in her hair then chalked the sky behind.

Jane

Serena with guitar is printed on music theme dp and colored a bit with copics. I did a little sewing on some bookprint then on the atc. Mod chick is computer generated... :) Guess I decided she looked "mod"..check out the hair doo and the boots! lol tfl!

Beverly G

I set this Steampunk Fairy in a midnight workshop. I'm calling her Sprocket Fairy.

I ran the ATC through clock and gear embossing folder, hit the highlights with Metallic Rub-ons, colored the fairy with Metallic art pencils and her wings with Clear Gel Pen for sparkle. One of my tiny watch bits and pieces fit just perfect for her earring and then I attached a few other sprockets around for her to tinker with.

Lyndi

I also used Steampunk Fairy (apologies for the terrible photograph). I coloured her with my Promarkers and added Glamour Dust to her wings (well she is a fairy after all LOL).

I used Co-ordinates purple card stock, put through my cuttlebug with a gears embossing folder and sanded down to show the gears. I then wrapped purple and silver sparkly cord around the ATC and used 3D pads to attached the Fairy.

Abbie

I have used Pearl Eccent Card, quite a plain and simple ATC I have added the Steampunk Fairy and colored her with a Grey Pencil and a Gold Glitter Gel Pen. I have then made some little flowers from black card and the Pearl Eccent card and the leaves are also black card

Leah

Oh my what an amazing digi to colour. Used promarkers and added some gems . Left the background paper plain as it's such a great image

Please remember you now have the choice of making a Card or an ATC

Abbie

I have use Serena With Laptop, she has been colored with promarkers, The music page is a stamp lightly inker over the top, I have added two blue hearts and the sentiment is from the word which has been printed xx

Caro's ATC

I absolutely loved this image

and when I found the french Eiffel Tower

and wording, she seemed to fit. 'Je suis moi'

means I am ME! and she is happy with who she is

Joanne

I printed the gorgeous Guylou image on to 300gsm white card and measured around it to cut the ATC size. I wanted the little girl's hair to overlap the edge. I then used Copics to colour the image before swiping tattered rose distress ink onto my craft sheet and spraying it with perfect pearls mist to make a paint for the background of the card. The edges are distressed with victorian velvet DI. I then stamped the words on to card, cut them out and used 3D foam to add both them and dimension to the card.

Sharon

I coloured Serena with Promarkers and embossed a musical background for her before adding the skulls.She's a cool image!

Tony

I printed the image onto purple card and coloured with promarkers. I then mounted the image onto silver holographic card. The background for the ATC is from a Halloween download I got ages ago. Black peel off letters to spell GOTH and a bit of edging and a few gems to finish off.

Hi everyone,

There is still time to join in with this fortnights challenge, we have some fabulous sponsors who are offering Digis from their shops for the lucky winners.

As from the the 20th January we will be changing the rules slightly. Myself, Caro, Leah and Ali feel that the challenge blog needs something else other than ATC's so we have now changed our name to ATC's & Cards With Attitude. This will now mean that you can make cards of any size as well as ATC's the choice will be yours. We hope that the blog will then pick up and have more entries.
