Here are a couple more sets of ATC's - this time using some of my CC Designs stamps and my Karen Foster Snap stamps (FYI the snap stamps are discontinued but I was told recently that KF is bringing them back in early 2008? Almost everywhere is sold out of them which is frustrating as I wanted to get another mini set and small set in the casual font! Oh well....)
I stamped the Play Ball Bug onto Bazzil White CS, used Copic Markers to color him in then punched him out with my Marvy Mega Circle punch and sponged the edges.
My mother in law let me borrow her pinking shears (out of all the Fiskars paper edgers I have (did YOU get sucked into buying the carousel of them at Costco b/c it was such a great price and then never used them? LOL!) not one has an edge like this!) as I wanted to mat the circle with an edge that matched the patterned paper.
The paper by the way is from this DCWV stack - I just got it last week and LOVE it! There's boy papers and girl papers and zoo/animal papers and most are either embossed or have glitter on them! FUN!
I used the small Karen Foster snap stamps to make the sentiment, added some ribbon and that was it!
I dunno what it is but I really have a thing for Pirates lately (and yes I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and fully enjoyed myself!! I *heart* Johnny Depp........'nuff said!).
I stamped the Ahoy, Matey bug onto Very Vanilla (Stampin' Up!) CS, along with the shadow spot, and used Copic Markers to color him in. To make the sword silver I used a fine-tipped silver metallic prismacolor marker.
The sentiment was done with the mini Karen Foster snap stamps, punched out then sponged.
The stars are from this KI Memories Color Lab set and I attached them with mini glue dots.
The patterned paper is from the same DCWV slab - I don't think you can tell but all the little stars have glitter on them :o)
