This has been extended to September 10th so a few more days!

Today's ATCs have used all the bits and bobs lying on my desk - scraps of card, some of the background that I had made using stamps and my Gelli plate and inks, and various images.

This one uses part of the image from  Giraffe Steampunk, (coloured with markers) and the 'washi' I made from the Steampunk Serengetti Panel 

In the next one I used the image/sentiment from Imagine That Digi stamps

 and a little of that of washi. Finally I added some gems.

In this last one I just used scraps from the images I had used before.

I will link these to Leigh's Linky

Happy Crafting!

Once again I have been playing with my Cricut. 

I used these giraffe svgs to make two ATCs. The svgs were a freebie I found online.

Each ATC started with a brown card. I then added a scrap of background that I had made using stamps and my Gelli plate and inks. I also used some of this to cut the images.

This is a picture of one example of these backgrounds - I love the texture of them.

I put each image upon a scrap of orange card again distressed with the vintage photo.

I like to use my diecuts in different ways. Remember the card I made here:

I used  Giraffe Steampunk, and Steampunk Serengetti Panel 

I cut and printed the panel and giraffes several times at the time. It occurred to me that I could use the panel sides as a sort of washi...

Finally I added some embellishments.

Still playing with my Cricut, I made another card.

I used the print and cut function with this image from Imagine That Digi Stamps

The sentiment comes from the same set.

The background is a paper from my stash and I used vintage photo to distress the edges.

These are both of my giraffe cards...

Today I have been playing with my Cricut. 

I used this giraffe svg to make a pop up card.

I cut the card base from a background I had made using stamps and my Gelli plate and inks.

I added extra rectangles to front and back and used vintage photo to distress the edges.

Finally I stamped the extra giraffe with black Archival and the sentiment, placed on dimensional tape. These are from Stampin Up's Wild about You.

My plan today was to illustrate an ostrich/emu. I have a little die which is part of a Cut,foil & Emboss Die Set. I wanted to foil it so I got out my TODO.

But I couldn't get it to heat up properly. So Plan B...

Here is today's ATC!

I used three layers of patterned paper to make the base - scraps from my stash. 

I used a kraft paper to die cut some vegetation and the patterned to cut the emus.

I added vintage photo Distress Ink round the edges and black pen to emphasise the shapes. 

Finally I added a sparkly gem.

So I totally forgot to post this last night...

Today my ATC is a flamingo!!

The background is a background I made when using a stencil and prize ribbon Distress Ink with water - this is when I flipped over the stencil to use up the ink.

I trimmed this to size and added it to a blue card base. The  flamingo is made with a feather and die cut the pieces using a Couture Creations Mini Die.

Using this makes it very easy with these tiny dies:

Finally I added two gems.

Today my ATC is a steampunk one featuring a cat.

The background is brown card with two strips of washi which link up with the colour of the ear.

The image is the freebie from Gecko Galz Steampunk Challenge and I will link the ATC there too. I printed it ATC size, three times, so that I could decoupage the image, layering up sections on dimensionals.
