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!

ATC #217 - Secrets

Another ATC for the swap. I made 2 copies of the photo (from a magazine, I think) and cut out the ladies from one of the copies and popped it up for dimension, which is why they sort of look double.
