ATCs Received: Roy G. Biv

Yup, apparently I do have a five picture limit. Okay, we will work with it. These fab ATCs are made by Carolyn in Silverdale, WA!! She said these are some of her favorite cards she's ever made and she found it hard to part with them! I told her I'd give them a very good home. They are happy :) ~ I love that she put a little pointy HAT on each lady, except for one, who's regal enough to be wearing a CROWN! I love love love them! They are still on page one in my binder! Next post: of course, Carolyn's indigo & violet cards!

Indigo & Violet complete the rainbow!

The rest of my rainbow. The indigo one says 'Remember' - it's a little hard to read since it's black ink on the very dark blue. I really like these and can't even choose a favorite! Next post will be the rainbow cards I received~!!

ROY G. B...um...only five pics per post??

I may be nuts, but I can only post five .jpg files in this entry. Is there a limit? I don't know. I guess I'll go investigate! Anyway, here is part of my (Roy G. Biv) RAINBOW of ATCs I made a few weeks ago for Jenny in Fresno, CA! In the next post I'll show you the Indigo & Violet! What I think is really cool about these is - well, ok there are two cool things - the main images are printed from the computer onto thick cardstock weight VELLUM and then, to make them stand out without all the background showing thru, I WATERCOLORED with ink & a blender pen on white cardstock and mounted it behind the image. The colors show thru just a bit and the effect was exactly what I was going for! The other cool thing is the backgrounds themselves. I used black ink on them all to keep them cohesive, and just went a little nuts with stamps from 3 or 4 different sets - basically stamping collage all over with an old world paris-writing-postage stamp theme. These are some of my favorites! Thanks for looking!
