ATCs


Hi all,
You may not know this but before I got properly into crafting, I was an artist of sorts. I got an award for it in school and studied it to Foundation level. Not bad! After that I continued it as a hobby,and still do, to an extent. However, I attained more success as a crafter, so art took the back seat. 

On the docraft PDT, we did a swap and the theme was nature. I figured I could combine my art with papercraft in ATC form! The ATC I made was well received, and I enjoyed it so much that I made a series - They are for sale on my Etsy shop,  go check it out! 
The art is printed onto vellum and fussy cut out.
The backgrounds are made of layers of embossed papers. ATCs are a great way of using up scraps.





I hope you like these, I want to make more in the future.

Thanks for stopping by!

Docrafts Project Design Team ATC Swap

Hi all

Back to share something fun - on the Docrafts PDT we've done an ATC swap and as we've completed the swap we can share what we made and what we received.

I was delighted today when this beauty arrived, made by the lovely Mags.

The detail in this is phenomenal, the multiple co ordinating layers, the little charms, and it's even got a little hanger so it can be hung up.
This is definitely something I'm going to aspire to with any future ATCs I make!

Now I'll share mine, here it is on Jaiq's desk. 

And a close up:


I always wanted combine my artwork with papercraft so making ATCs was the perfect opportunity to do this. After wrestling with my printer, I printed my art onto vellum and then added a bit of colour to the Puffin's bill, before cutting it out and sticking onto embossed cardstock. Definitely want to do more like this - in fact, I'm just starting a new drawing right now!

Here's links to my fellow members' blogs - check them out to find what they made and received!
