| I love the whimsy of these giraffe ATC's.
They're basically a hand drawn giraffe on Mayfair Cover Stock. The outline
and spots were embossed with my thermal embossing technique and a mix of
embossing powders to create a unique kind of brown color (peridot, copper,
gold & a touch of black). I then used some watercolors to put a wash
of yellow & brown and dabbed it with some tissues, when dry I cut it
out. Partially glued it (upper 1/4 of the head is loose and stands
slightly away from the card) to a beige toned cardstock. topped it with a
decorated paper of giraffe/leopard spots. Mounted it onto black cardstock.
Wrote my words with gold gel pen.
Words: You have to stick your neck out to get ahead! |
Giraffe is same as on left. Used a napkin with an
African scene and glued it to some beige cardstock. Partially glued my
giraffe. wrote the words with a black micron pen. Mounted it onto aqua
cardstock.
Words: Oh! To be a giraffe and view the world from on high. |

| I love the decorated papers I used for these two 3D mask ATC's. One is a faux dark reddish brown leather look, one is beautiful stripes in a dark umber and a washed out brown. The mask is made from sculpey and I used stamp pad inks to color it, then accented it with a touch of metallic paint. The toothpicks are the round cocktail type. I used a brown dew drop stamp pad to color it. Glued some feathers, bead and then wrapped it with very thin copper wire. I Thermal embossed the word "Africa" with gold embossing powder. Mounted it onto a brown cardstock | Same striped paper, sculpey mask and thoothpick. The second paper is a crinkled splattered paper (used the rough deckle edge). I didn't add wire to this toothpick, just another bead. Mounted it onto a reddish brown cardstock. |

"Threw Paint Backgrounds" I did recently. I used a brass stencil
for the elephants and a mix of paint and molding paste. Thermal embossed
the words with copper embossing powder. Mounted it onto red cardstock.
Words: Conquering life one step at a time. |
Same background and elephant technique. Wrote the
words with a black micron pen. Mounted it onto orange cardstock.

| On a piece of white cheap watercolor
paper, I used a brass stencil (Dreamweaver masks) and a stencil brush to
apply the color to the background, using stamp pad inks. I put some
Dreamweaver white molding paste on a glass plate and added a drop of
Golden's fluid acrylics (a yellow and a magenta) and without mixing them,
picked up everything with my palette knife and smeared it across my
stencil. Mounted it onto Dark green cardstock. Added a piece of green
leatherette cardstock on the left side. Glued some feathers at the base
only and added a half wooden orange bead (I cut my wood beads in half to
reduce bulk/thickness and I get 2 beads from one bead). I added some
thermal embossed copper 3 D dots. Lettering with a black micron pen.
Words: Behind the mask |
I picked us some wonderful leatherettes and other
textural and decorative papers a while back at a wholesalers. I'm finally
really getting to use them for this theme.
I used the same molding paste technique as the one on the left onto rich dark brown leatherette. Mounted it onto a white with variegations of browns, then both of these mounted onto a pink (yes pink) cardstock then onto a medium brown cardstock. Made a toothpick spear with gold wire and pin & yellow feathers and a pink bead. Thermal embossed my words with copper embossing powder. Words: Mask of... |
