Saunjune's Craftopia

rocky horror brad and janet atc's Originally uploaded by saunjune These are the ATC's I mad for the Rocky Horror Picture Show swap on Swapbot. I am fairly pleased at how the first Janet came out. :) Just wanted to share my latest project.

Inspire Flight ATC Originally uploaded by saunjune This ATC was made for our Open House Triptych swap at North Coast Art Swaps.   This one probably took the most time, I think it was because I couldn't really decide what I wanted to do.  The background paper started out as some leftover serendipity paper I had made for a swap about a year ago.  Most of the stamped images are from Stampington Company , some are also from Inkadinkado.  I think I found the lady image in the free collage images at art-e-zine.   I have uploaded the triptych templates that we used to North Coast Art Swaps , or you can download the PDF here.

Fly Free ATC Originally uploaded by saunjune This ATC was made for our Open House Triptych swap at North Coast Art Swaps .  I used old sheet music paints, and inks collaged over scrapbook paper for the background.  The image of the girl is a gel medium transfer, and the words and butterflies were added to finish the collage.

Sisterhood ATC Originally uploaded by saunjune This ATC was made for our Open House Triptych swap at North Coast Art Swaps . The children pictured are from Lisa's Altered Art .

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!
