Paris Grunge ATC's

These were done for a swap on one of my yahoo groups - ATCforbeginners

The theme was paris grunge - inspired by "Remember Paris," item a couple of posts below...This was SO fun!






Hugs!!  G

WOW..it's been a long time!

Hey there chickies...sorry it's been so long since I've blogged...sort of out of sorts since the middle of Feb...life was wayyyyyy to lifey...if you know what I mean.  So...I'll be posting a bit daily to get caught up!

Here are some recent ATC's I did for an upcoming swap on The Sum of All ATC's Yahoo Group.  It's a great group...stop on by!

The theme was Louise Brooks.  In my opinion, she was way ahead of her time...when the mind set during that time was uber conservative.  Hope you enjoy

Remember Paris...

Greetings!!

Wanted to show you a card that I did for a lady on a group of mine...she needed some cheering up as she's going through a very serious illness.

Remember Paris

 

The way I made the card:
Background is a ink resist using ranger distress ink - the tea one.
The images used are ones that I found free online...
After attaching the images to the base of the card, I used my fingers to apply the same ink to distress the card and then attached the dragonfly sticker and the rhinestones to the edges of the post card image.  I then inked the edges of the card.

The effect I was looking for here was "Paris Grunge," sort of a take off on steampunk/grunge style...I like to call the effect diet steampunk/grunge...lol.

Hope you enjoy!
