ATC #226 - Juicy

We are so lucky to be getting some delicious fruits from places with growing seasons different from our local seasons. Pears and blackberries have been my favorites in the last few months.

Stamped, collage.

ATC #225 - Open the Door

So often we are afraid to go and open the mysterious door to our minds and see what's inside...

ATC #223 - Clan MacGregor

I thought I had lost this ATC. I went on a harbor dinner cruise in November. The bar didn't have my favorite scotch, so I tried their Clan MacGregor. I happened to have my ATCs and sketch pens with me so I took a few minutes to make a quick sketch of the glass of Scotch and soda, then added the color later at home.

Ink and watercolor.

ATC #222 - Listen to the Trees

For some reason the picture came out very dark. The trees are from another new Washi tape.

ATC #220 - Beach & King Pelican

I got to go on a real vacation with a friend to a timeshare in Newport Beach near Crystal Cove. It was really lovely and inspired me to make a couple of beach-themed cards. It also gave me the opportunity of using some more of the cool washi tape I recently got.

ATC #219 - Read Books



This one is made from washi tape. I recently got a bunch of washi tape that is really cool - it does not have straight edges. The books along the bottom are one of the tapes. The three blues at the top are also washi tape. I use the tapes mostly for journaling and collage, but I these new ones are really fun!
