The Artful Bag Challenge - April - Make and trade an ATC card

The theme? Handbags, of course.  Here's mine:

I made the background by adding packing tape, painting it with champagne-colored acrylic paint, adding some ink shading, stamping and then edging with gold.  The handbag is made with washi paper.  The inchies are covered with kimono material and were a gift from a trader.  And inside the purse is a coin for good luck!

Another Beautiful Gift

Imagine my surprise when I unwrapped the ribbon that Misses Peach sent me (see earlier post) and found out that it was wound around a gorgeous ATC card called "A Season of Cats!"  This card is just too beautiful for words.  It is made with a packing tape background that is beautifully painted.

Thank you again, Misses Peach for brightening my day again with your gorgeous creation! 

Two cards with a masking tape background for a swap

I didn't want to put too much embellishment on these cards - I wanted the gorgeous masking tape transfer background to show through.  The tutorial for this great background is here at Lesley's Harmony Road Studio.
