STAMPlorations ATCs

A big THANK YOU to Shery at STAMPlorations for nudging me outside my comfort zone. I'm usually a clean and simple kind of gal. Shery sent me some ATCs and honestly, I wasn't sure what to do with them. They are beautiful. You can see the collection here. They would be so perfect if you needed to create a handmade greeting card quickly. 

Here's what I did with some of my recently acquired ATCs.

For this card, I started with STAMPlorations' Abstract Oats stencil and abandoned coral, mustard seed, picked raspberry and bundled sage distress inks applied with mini ink blending brushes on a white A2 card base. I stamped the sentiment using STAMPlorations Noteworthy 2 stamp set and PinkFresh evergreen ink. I adhered the ATC from the Color Me Spring collection at a whimsical angle to complete my first card.

This card felt like a "new home" card. I made the background using STAMPlorations Dots All Over stencil and picked raspberry, squeezed lemonade, mowed lawn and mermaid lagoon distress inks applied lightly with oval ink blending brushes. I stamped the sentiment using STAMPlorations Radiate Happy stamp on a scrap of pink cardstock and fussy cut it out. I matted the ATC from the Whimsical Homes collection with black cardstock. I adhered everything to the panel and then adhered it to a white A2 card base to finish my second card.

The third card made use of one of Botanical Beats collage papers also available at STAMPlorations. I cut it to A2 size and adhered it to a white A2 card base. I matted the ATC from the Retro Femme collection with black cardstock to help it pop against the background. The sentiment uses STAMPlorations Believe word die which I cut twice and slightly offset the layers when gluing to the panel. I glued the ATC again slightly whimsically to the panel to finish my third card.

A big thanks to Shery for her incredible and inspiring products.
