Vintage Women

Well, I decided to uploads these 2 matching atc's for the Vintage Women Challenge on

Vintage me

For this 4*4 card I used a black&white photo of myself, distressed it a little, put it on a background made with alcohol ink and finished with some lace and a few flowers. Haven't decided yet if it needs some words or a phrase...

I might use it for the challenge on MixedMediaMonday though.

Mulberry/handmade papers

This week the theme on Wednesday Stamper is using Mulberry or handmade papers.
My contribution is this card.

I stamped the bamboo with versamark ink and heat-embosssed, then coloured the washi-paper (I am not sure if this is called mulberry paper) with alcohol inks, afterwards ironed it to remove the embossed part. After layering it onto cardstock I stamped the text and panda.

Week 13 of Bernie Berlin's ATC workshops

So now we have come almost to the end of the book.
The next 3 weeks we can choose from some of the so-called 'ultra-cards' in the book.
It can be pen-drawn, diptich or triptich (2 or 3 connected atc's), folded, children atc's or digital.
I made this week diptich, so a 2-connected serie, I used the painted papertowel technique out of the beginning of the book for the background.

Theme Men on TMTA

This week the theme on TMTA
is MEN.
I decided to make a digital tribute to Rutger Hauer, one of my fav. moviestars.

TMTA theme metal

This week the theme for TMTA is metal.
I stamped the tiger, added some metal wire, tore it as if the tiger jumpes out and added a metal painting-hanger with brads.

Working with friendly plastic

This week in Bernie Berlin's book friendly plastic is the basic for the atc we are working on.
It is not my favourite material. The plastic crawls when cooling and it is hard to keep it nice flat.
Also stamping in/on it didn't work for me :-((
But I do like the result though.......pushed some charms into one and eyelets in the other.


Working with mica

This time we are working with mica. I made the atc totally see-through with the mica, but you can also use just a piece of it on an atc.
In between the 2 pieces mica I placed a transfer of a woman and some dried flowers.
The mica itself I coloured with alcohol ink.

Working with metal tape

The workshops with BB's book, which still is great to do, keep going on. Yet another 8 weeks I believe.....
This week some different ways using Metal Tape.
First: putting alcohol ink on a piece of tape, then tearing it in small pieces and brayer/flatten them on an atc. Finish it with a picture and charms/embellishments.



Second: stamp on the tape, make the lines deeper with your stylus tool/embossingpen. Then rub black paint in it and smear it off again. I finished this one with punched out clovers of metal tape, coloured with alcohol ink.
