Sewing Notions

This old-fashioned sewing stamp set reminds me of the pajamas my grandmother used to make us when I was little.  Unfortunately, the "sewing gene" didn't make it to me!  I think she would have liked my trio of Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) that I'm sharing today. I chose to work with the Prima 6x6 paper stack called Life Time because the distressed patterns played well with the aged look of the Stitches stamp set . Rather than coloring most of the images after they were stamped, I just stamped them in different parts of the papers to get the different colors.  All of the images were stamped with Jet Black StazOn ink . Bits and Pieces

Turning scrap into art

I know there are other artists and crafters out there like me who have a bin full of wonderful little bits and pieces leftover from other projects.  You know the ones...the unique paper, the stamped image that didn't get used, the random Altered Pages collage image from a full sheet of images.  I dug into that bin this week to create a trio of artist trading cards (ATC) to share with you. Normally, I share how to pictures with you but since I use using remnants I don't have any.  Everything was already (mostly) ready to use.  I hope you enjoy!
