Vintage Ladies ATC's

By
Here are a few ATC's that I swapped a few weeks ago!!!
 
 
I first painted my ATC's and the circles with contrasting paint on a small bottle cap. Then I stamped the Eiffel Tower and Paris with black ink.  The women were fussy cut and glued to the ATC.  The final touch was the Dew Drop embellishments!  A Sharpie pen was used to create a thin black frame around the edge!!!

Now for a simple organizing tip from me.... I have a very large pickle jar I keep on my table that I throw bits and pieces of ribbon.  They are usually ends of spools that are big enough to use but to small to keep on a spool!

    Beautiful ATCs! That's a great idea for storing bits of ribbon in a pickle jar. Thanks for sharing!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
