Few weeks ago I took part to an ATC exchange that had an unusual theme: Different shape than usual.
The assignment was to alter the shape by keeping within the normal size (6,4cm x 8,9 cm).
I tried different things, like punching out shapes out of cardstock, but they were annoyingly hard to finish. Finally I decided to cut out part of a ferris wheel shaped object. I had been playing with a circus-theme that day, and when I realised how to fit in the ferris wheel it all came together nicely.
When I got into calendar crafts I didn't realise I would start again hole paper craft hobby!
But after nine monts I'm so into it that I want to update this blog again, too. Let's see if I actually have time or is it just a flight of fancy...
I traded three ATC-cards via Facebook group this month. One of them was from this series of four cards. This warm-up for Artist Trading Cards I started by making background with aquarelles and Brusho pigments. The strong violet color is from Brusho pigment. The details I added with golden acrylic paint, different pens/pencils and a sticker.
I also traded one of these below, in which I reminisced about childhood paper dolls and doll clothes in general. It was fun to make these "look old" with some ink pads and stressing the paper with scissors!
P.S.
If you read this, leave a comment! I would love to see what people are up to nowadays! My next "plan" is to participate in Life Book 2024 Taster Sessions.
