A Year of ATCs - Day 51

Challenge #6 at Fabrika Fantasy Digis
is Add a Heart.

This is my second make - and my 51st make for a Year of ATCs...

I have made a pair of ATCs using
 Frolicking Possums 
(the first precoloured, the second coloured by me with Zig real brush pens)



I cut both images out with a stitched rectangle die and added then to scraps of DP.
To this one I added a bow and a gem heart:


On this one I outlined the image with a red fineliner and added a strip of self adhesive ribbon from which I had cut one heart to add to the image...





I will link this to the Fabrika Fantasy Challenge #6


Happy Crafting!

The final touch was a ribbon flower...

I have made another treat box for you today - I wanted a little Valentine gift...



I used elements and papers from
and


I scored and folded two pieces of red card to make a shallow square box and lid.




On the base of the box and inside the bottom I added the frog image superimposed on the music paper - I also added the sentiment on heart paper - I put all this together in Serif Craft Artist 2.




On the lid I layered the music paper with a die cut and then the frog image which I had cut out. 




Using the same image I made my 49th ATC for a Year of ATCs -
 the sentiment is from From The Heart

A Year of ATCs - Day 48

This is my 48th make for A year of ATCs.

A while ago I said I would make a set of Chinese New Year ATCs - somehow that went by the wayside...  this was my first



- but I did get around to making one more...
red card then lantern paper that I found somewhere in my stash
then some inchies...
Inch square images - I found this image on a greetings card, printed it small and cut it out (5 times).


I then added the money bag...




Happy Crafting!
