I hardly ever make sets of ATCs, but wanted to play with my Artemio chickens - a stamp set that I've had for a long time and yet they rarely see ink! The Artemio stamps were called something like Pico - but are long retired
So, to remedy that, here's a trio of chicken ATCs - which I hope make you smile.
I'm making this my third entry into the Tag-Along & ATCs September challenge where the optional theme is THINGS WITH WINGS (or anything goes).
Details:
- All three ATCs were created from snippets of white card, left over from making my own card blanks. Each one has been edged with a gold Sakura Pen-Touch calligraphy pen.
- TOP LEFT ATC: Artemio chickens; Funky Fossil Protea flower stencil (tops of the stencil petals used to create "grass"); Uniko Nature's Treasures stencil for the leaves; "buddies" word from Aall & Create's "Strange Birds" set #464.
- TOP RIGHT ATC: Artemio chicken; top & bottom stamping from a cut-down stamp by Aall & Create. Sentiment from Aall & Create's "Strange Birds" set #464.
- BOTTOM ATC: Artemio Chicken (stamped twice and decoupaged); Visible Image "Ink Swirls" stencil for the background, brushed with blue and green Distress Inks. The sentiment is old and I cannot remember where it came from - but was possibly a magazine freebie along with some feather stamps!
Your comical chicks made me chuckle, and your backgrounds are awesome, as are the sentiments xxx
ReplyDeleteThese are just so much fun Sarn and make for a perfect set of ATC's which I am so glad you are sharing with us at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge, fit our the theme this month so nicely.

These are great fun Sarn and so imaginative, an absolutely fantastic set of ATC’s. I’m ashamed to say I haven’t made a single ATC all year … I really must start again if only I can find my mojo! xx
