Altered By Me

I want to show you an atc I made last week. Usually when I make a piece of art I use my own background. When I say my own background I mean I have started with a piece of blank watercolor paper and painted, inked, stamped or distressed it myself. It is one of my most favorite parts of the creative process. Matter of fact sometimes I like my background so much that I have a hard time covering it up to make a piece of art. For this atc below I used a pre-made atc background sheet from Paper Imagery Designs . The title of the sheet is For the Birds. PID offers a large selection of images with birds and butterflies. These sheets are my favorites and you will find the images in a lot of my art. The butterfly came from the Butterflies, Dragonflies and Insects sheet . This was one of the easiest atc's I've ever made and it is one of my favorites. There is still time to enter my atc giveaway here . The giveaway ends on July 3rd. You'll find info on the contest blog post

A couple of posts back you might remember my mention of the Paper Imagery Designs Image sheets made up of images designed by the design team. You can read that post here and find a link directly to the images sheets there also. Well today Dayle posted some of her 4x4 fatbook pages for our swap and what did I see??? Dayle used one of my images from the Design Team Sheet. Here is a picture of the 4x4 page she made using it.   Her 4x4 pages are beautiful! And look how sweet my image looks on top of her technique. Thank you Dayle!   Technorati Tags: Design Team Image Sheets , 4x4 fatbook
