New ATCs

This weekend was our local ATC Trade.  We had a great turn out.  I made two series of cards:

Think Spring was definitely the most popular - probably because of our recent (unseasonal) cold snap:

 
Phrenology Head is a stamp from Lost Coast Designs.  Butterfly from ARTchix Studio.

The next series was "All Mixed Up and Nowhere to Go".  I took images from an ARTchix sheet called The Eyes Have It (which sadly appears to no longer be in print), cut three at a time in strips and then reassembled them. 

 

After I got home, I was feeling quite inspired by all of the talented artists at the trade, and so decided to play around with a new design.  I had painted these backgrounds on canvas with glass bead medium and then painted over it with green paint.  I was then stuck with what to do with them as the dimensional nature of the glass bead medium made it difficult to stick any images on top.  I cut out some abstract designs, and stuck some faces (also from ARTchix) underneath.  The pieces that were cut out remained abstract.  I like the pink/green combo.  Here's a pic of all six:

You are getting SO creative with your work Cindy. I love the abstracts. Nice color scheme as well.

Great atc's! How clever of you to use the faces underneath those textures shapes! Very inspiring, Cindy! Hugs, Terri xoxo
