Elephant Pocket Letter

I chose realistic and artistic images of elephants, and used markers, cardstock, die cut borders, washi tape, square mosaic gems, and some half round acrylic gems.

It Swims in the Sea

We had to depict something that swam in the sea, so I chose sea slugs because they are rather fascinating.  So many different colors and shapes! I used Tim Holtz distress watercolors markers.

Cupcake ATC's

One of my favorite themes! Using Tim Holtz distress watercolor markers.

Exquisite Corpse ATC's

This is a super fun swap!  Take three ATC's and turn them horizontal, tape them together on the back and draw a character that goes across all three cards.  General guidelines - head and top of shoulders in the top card, torso, top of hips, and arms in the second card, and legs and feet in the third card.  When these cards are swapped we get three different cards back to create some crazy combinations. I did two characters so that I would have more options.  I used Tim Holtz Distress watercolor markers.

Hats Off ATC's

Collage style - patterned papers, vintage and photo images, die cuts, washi tape, and cardstock letters.

 This was a hand drawn challenge from the ATC's for All forum.  We were given three lists - one pertaining to appearance, one list concerning accessories and props, and the last to do with color scheme.  The challenge was to build three mermaids selecting at least one different item from each list for each mermaid 

1. purple hair 2. crown. 3 orange, pink, and yellow

 1. curly hair  2. jellyfish 3. pink and green

1. long hair 2. seashells 3. green, blue, and yellow

Lighthouse ATC's

 These were for a hand drawn lighthouse challenge on the ATC's for All forum. I decided to go whimsical with mine and colored using sharpie and Bic permanent markers.

Postage Stamp People - close ups

I decided to go ahead and add close up views of each of my postage stamp people because the connect view is so small.

Postage Stamp People

This is for a swap with the ATC's For All forum. The challenge was to use postage stamps with faces, add bodies and finish off the backgrounds.  I found pictures of bodies, added postage stamps faces and then taped my ATC's together and created a continuous whimsical background.  I drew and colored with Sharpie permanent markers.
