more atc/aceo's

Well, my last blog was about my new addiction...ATC and ACEO. I have joined 2 groups for trading once a month. Just started and am excited ...so silly!
 My 12 year old granddaughter is now making them and she has made some really cute ATC/ACEO's. I will have to take some pictures of her work.  I have also introduced this art to a couple of friends and yes...they are now "hooked" on it too!
I listed 3 on my etsy site and one sold within 5 minutes!!!

I am now thinking of making a large frame to display the cards I recieve in my trades. Or maybe just an album so people can browse..you know the coffee table kinda thing.

This one I cut a picture an angel for the background,glued some tissue paper around the edge, painted some shadows here and there and then embossed with UTEE. It is Titled

Angel Out My Window.

This one is titled Purple Hydrangea, it is the one I sold. I am painting a series of them and will list more as I finish. I have Hydrangeas growing in my backyard. They are HUGE., so pretty...They are one of my favorite flowers. I cut them and put them in vases all over my house. So I decide to paint some on ATC/ACEO's

Wine Bottle Stopper and Embossing Powder

I have been playing around with some craft products. Embossing powder, paint, and heat gun. Lol!! I do admit that at first I had more powder on me than my project but after awhile I did get the hang of it. This is something new to me and I did enjoy it and I liked the results.

After practicing on a few items I decided to make something for my etsy shop and my artfire shop.

I made some wine (or other bottle) bottle stoppers. One gold and the other is black with blue and purple sparkle. I sealed them with a water proof varnish to give it a (somewhat) smooth feel. Before varnishing it had a grainy feel to it. I am happy with the results.

Now I am going to play with my Ranger Melting Pot. I have used it before for melting wax, and soap but now I am going to try the Utee!!

I will let you know the results!!

Have a good day!
