Hi
I am still trying to join in with more of the swaps over at Uk Stampers forum and so I made three ‘spring colours’ ATC today.
I went with some mop up paper from playing with shimmer sprays as the background and then grabbed some scraps of paper that were on the desk for the background added bits. I edged them with green and then worked on the focal feature.
I used the Altenew flower stamp and stencil I got with a magazine a couple of weeks ago and stamped it three times on different scraps of cardstock and then embossed it.
I then fussy cut it – I could have die cut it as the die in the set matches this shape but forgot!
On this one I had stamped on a sprayed piece of card so it has shimmer to it too – I also added extra colour with one of the stencils.
The other two it was a yellow cardstock – one of which I added colour using both stencils. The other just one stencil.
I then used the leaf stencil to draw the leaf shapes and add the colour and then fussy cut them out.
I added these behind the flowers.
I then embossed the sentiment and the banner – these are from a different Altenew set and I fussy cut the Hello and die cut the banners.
I finished off with the gem on each ATC.
Happy crafting!

Using the mop-up paper with shimmer sprays as a background for the ATCs adds such a vibrant and dynamic base that perfectly captures the spring theme. The Altenew flower stamps and stencils are utilized beautifully, with the embossed and fussy-cut flowers showcasing intricate details. The variety in the cardstocks and added colors through stencils brings a wonderful depth to each piece. Incorporating the leaf shapes drawn and colored with stencils adds a lovely balance to the compositions. The embossed sentiments and banners, along with the addition of gems, provide a polished and charming finish to the ATCs.
