A couple ATC cards I did in the last few days. Too hot to move about so I sat and did this. I call her Mz. Scarlett. Made using a shipping tag, stamped with my fav, crackle stamp, and inked edges. Then on one half I added part of a vintage post card that had a flower/forrest motif. I cut Mz. Scarlett from an add in a mag, then glued her down. Added mini rhinestone hearts, some fashion yarn. Down the right side a strip of paper with some twisty braid. A little detail and she was finished. I was going to use her in the lady/hat swap but then read it again and it said, lady in a hat so...that's out for this one, she is holding her hat. But I will keep her for another trade, swap or giveaway. So I moved on to this one, didn't think her hat was outstanding enough, she will save her also. Used the shipping tag again. Crackle stamped and inked. Used a pic out of an old book, she is one of our presidents wives but forget which one. Was a black and white pic so I put some color to her, using chalk pencils. With a little mini rhinestone heart necklace. A strip of paper down the left side, open lace with a string of blue and an old key. A piece of corrugated card board, with mesh ribbon on top. Then a blue button with a large rhinestone heart. Some detail and she is also done.Got this in the mail yesterday, from Tee at http://creationsbytee.blogspot.com/ . I traded her some ephemera for some hand made soap . Coffee flavor. Mmmm good , have not used it yet, to pretty! Thanks Tee I love it!She also sent me a hand made Marie post card. This is the front, way to pretty to use, so I will hang it up when I get back to FL and admire it!This is what's on the back of post card. Just beautiful! Thanks again Tee!!!!Woke up to clouds and scattered thunder storms, so that left out setting up at the flea market. Going to be high 80's again so not sure what I will do today. Maybe a short road trip with Maggie and find some geocache's. So all for now, thanks for looking and come back soon
