Froggie ATC

Afternoon all. I thought I'd share this little ATC that I made the other day. It was for my DT piece for Digital-Ink but as they are no more I thought I'd put it on my blog and share it with you all now.

The image is by Jules of Daisy Doodles and I think he's called "Ribbit" but don't quote me on that as I am terrible for the names of things even if I have just seen them.
I used some card that my former boss let me have from work (cut offs that would have gone in the bin) and cut it to ATC size (2.5 inches x 3.5 inches) and got my whispers ink pads and just squished them all over my piece of card. To my amazement the ink didn't dry straight away on this card, so I got my clear embossing powder and sprinkled it over my piece of card and got the old heat gun out. This of course gave it a lovely shiny finish. I then took my image that I had coloured in 4 times and cut out certain bits and decoupaged it with silcone glue. Shock horror I didn't use my copics - I'm into my regular pencils and watercolor pencils again at the mo. Then to finish it off I used some peel offs that I have had lying around like for YEARS!!!!
I hope you like my litle froggie - I do so he'll most probably be staying with me (like most of my ATCs actually heheheehe).
Take care

I'm Back!!

And here is challenge number two for the year. This one is for the new Christmas challenge blog ABC Christmas Challenge and the challenge is of course A for .... Angels - with the added challenge of using beads or charms. I've made a little ATC (I haven't made one for ages) with a super sassy angel image from Stitchy Stamps and this image is so new it's not on her blog yet and might not even be in the shop yet either.
I hope you like her anyway and when you  get a chance pop over and see my buddy and all the fabby digis that she creates. Without further ado....here she is!

Catch you all later.
