Do you know….April is stress awareness month? Madge has a message for YOU! Stuff Happens!
Madge is a rubber stamp from Art Impressions. Stuff happens is from Wordsworth. I colored Madge w/copic sketch markers….almost looks like she was having a bad hair day! lol I’m sure she’s thinking about how splotchy her skin is too! hehehe
The Challenge: Do you think Julie is going to have a baby boy or baby girl? Well, she already has boys, so I picked “a girl”! So, the gals in the area swap group were to make her an atc according to what we decided.
Here’s my girl ATC. She really is ATC size, 2.5 in. x 3.5 in. Six cuts on the cricut to get her nice and chipboard thick…the cartridge is Stretch Your Imagination. She’s kinda goofy looking cute! lol
Going back in time….one of my earlier atc’s that I still fancy! I love to stamp and use as many images as I can, the collage stamped look…..I love the challenge!!!
Stamp club swap today
I love the look of real kids for creating artist trading cards. This one really went all out in decorating her hat with flowers and lace….and the glasses??? so cute! A really simple ATC to bring a smile and hopefully bring back fond memories of your growing up years.
I computer generated the sentiment after a friend translated it for me from french….THANKS Alice!
Then punched with McGill’s keyhole plates punch and stamped a tone on tone rose background stamp by Alesa Baker (Impression Obsession stamp company) on the punched piece….
The pearls are from Hero Arts…
OK – so YUM might be stretching things for eating a slice of pumpkin! So many cool vintage nursery rhyme images out there! This one is in an old book from 1922.
