Sharing some vintage bird ATC’s I made for a swap recently…

I used watercolor colors, Layers of Color Fleur Heart and Renaissance Hearts art stamp sets, velvet rickrack, Dover clip-art, peach-colored 3-D dots and Silver Leaf pen on the edges.
This was made with watercolors, lace, stitching, Dover clip-art, music paper, clear dot, and cardstock cutout heart embossed with Layers of Color Renaissance Hearts art stamp set.
To create this ATC, I used watercolors, Layers of Color Renaissance Hearts art stamp embossed in old gold, Dover clip-art bird, gold leafing pen, and a cardboard buckle covered with a page of gospel music.
When making this ATC, I used acrylic paint, stamp inks for distressing, gel pen, Dover clip-art, lace, a metal brad, paper flowers, and Layers of Color Beaded Frames art stamp set.
To make this ATC, I used watercolors, Dover clip-art, sheet music, flower punch, embossed photo corner, brown ink, and Layers of Color Fleur Heart and Renaissance Hearts art stamp sets.

We’ve been working so hard getting our new online boutique opened and running the business. It’s a blessing, but we’re overdue for a break. So the children are staying with Grandparents and my husband and I are getting away to the coast for the weekend! I’m looking forward to relaxing, deep breaths of sea air, leisurely strolls, candlelight dinner, watching the sunset, and peace and quiet. Ah, tranquility!

With this in mind, I created my artwork for Layers of Color Challenge theme, Summer Respite. I used floral paper, Layers of Color Garden Borders, Fleur Heart and Beaded Frames art stamps. I love my new paper flowers introduced to me by my friend, Heather (Prima Floral Embellishments).
I hope you too, enjoy your summer weekend!

Stamp Something has a challenge to make a card using a specific layout or “sketch”. I’ve made a card using Layers of Color Gothic Crosses art stamp set. I needed to make an invitation for a card magazine, and so this card is perfect for a special religious event, like a Baptism, a baby Christianing or Dedication.
