ATC Swaps

Hello Everyone,
I've been busy making some ATCs for swaps. Thought I'd share. This first one, "Old Luggage," is for a swap at ATCs for All. The theme is vintage travel. I used some leather-like paper to create a suitcase look for the outside. I attached some small postage stamp collage paper to it to look like vintage luggage stamps. I used some more collage posters on the inside. I also did some stamping with Tim Holtz and $1.00 stamps from somewhere. It's been aged with Tea Dye and Vinatge Photo DI. The base is a frozen pizza box that I covered with grocery bag paper.


These three I'm swapping with Fiona. We met at "the Beach." We are swapping 3 for 3 any theme. I made them all different themes but with the same basic layout. Again I have used pizza box the base. For"Dixie Flyer" I stamped with a $1.00 stamp set and inked with various DIs. "Parisian Dreams" was stamped on a rose background that I had used glossy mod podge on so that it stamped in a dream-like way. The flowers were from a Rak I received. "Life's a Stitch" uses stamps from a Crafty Secrets set. I stamped on tissue paper for the background. I attached a tiny pin as well. They all use more of the collage images from Hot Off the Press.

This was my first ATC. It is on glossy paper. I used a resist technique with alcohol inks. The stamps are by Tim Holtz. This one is being swapped with Connie who I met during a UStream chat.

Well that's it for now. Thanks for the visit and happy stampin.
