Saunjune's Craftopia

ATC file box closed Originally uploaded by saunjune I've been making things lately. After an artistic slump I am finally feeling Creative again! Yay! Here are the fabulous prizes that my fellow North Coast Art Swapper is about to receive as her Art Lottery prizes. I was only supposed to send her two small altered art pieces (Charms, ATC's, etc.). But I couldn't help myself, I had to make a cute little file folder to hold her new ATC's! Check it out. :)

Bird Boy Originally uploaded by saunjune This little guy is the first ATC I made for Jennifer (the winner of the Art Lottery at North Coast art swaps).  I used a sand filled texture paste for the base of the background, then sprayed with glimmer mist, then inked, and finally dripped a combination of thinned teal colored paints and let them run down.  The plastic heart is from Heidi Swap, and inked with a wordy stamp I had laying around.  The little cutie boy is from Lisa's Altered Art Collage sheets.  You can find them here:  http://www.lisasalteredart.com/

Geisha faux postage Originally uploaded by saunjune I made most of this card sometime ago.  It is the second card I am sending Jennifer!  The background was made by inking the inside of a plastic folder, a few drips from 2 - 3 different colors, then squishing a glossy sheet of paper between the inked up folder.  I will try to make a tutorial to explain that better.  (I just have to find some time first...lol).  It was then stamped w/ Staz-on ink in black, I think I used a Hero Arts stamp, but I could be wrong.  And I really don't want to dig through my cache of rubber stamps right now to find out.  :)  I stamped over the geisha image with postal themed stamps, then mounted the image to some fancy hand screened, yummy, fiber-y paper.  Tah-da!
