ATC Traded - Behind Door 1

A flower with a yellow brad for its center is behind door #1. This is for the ATC Beginners Swap that focuses on Doors & Windows. I chose doors. I like doors. There's something intriguing about what's behind a door. A kind of surprise. Or...it perhaps it goes back to the "Let's Make a Deal" game show phase. For some reason I really liked watching that show. This card is made with a variety of scrapbook papers. The numbers are handcut from tinfoil that was painted with alcohol inks. The door knobs are brads. Behind each door is an object.

My First ATC Swap!

It was an open theme and after seeing that my partner is about to get married I wanted to make a card for that. I used her wedding colors, vintage book pages, and vintage buttons. More detailed photos in the video link below- www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaPOYoQYNDk&feature=channel

Victorian Flower Basket Backgrounds

The original image was a birthday greeting postcard mailed on February 18, 1916. I removed the birthday verse, digitally resized the postcard to 2.5"x3.5" (perfect for ATCs/ACEOs), cleaned up some wear, tears and spots. I then exported the color background into Filter Forge to produce a variety of textures and effects including embossed, watercolor and wind blur. You can print these backgrounds onto card stock (recommeded) or watercolor paper to use in your ATCs/ACEOs, greeting card, altered art or mixed media projects - it's completely up to you. You can download the individual backgrounds as 2.5"x3.5", 300dpi JPEGs from my blog post at Vintage Field & Garden . Free to modify for your personal or commercial cr
