Week 2's project was fun. The challenge was to make folded atc's. They could be single fold, double fold, accordian fold, or whatever, as long as they were folded. I always love to try different techniques, so all three of my atc's utilized a different kind of fold.
On my double fold (Dreams) I used collage sheet images, stamping and stickers. On my accordian fold card (Wonderment) the woman stamp is from Stampland. I stamped her on glossy paper and used a roller to apply rainbow inks. I cropped the image to fit my card. The background stamp on the folded edge is from Stamper's Annonymous. To finish it off I used the definition of wonderment from a dictionary and attached a key embellishment.
The diagonal cut fold atc (Country Bridge) was a little more challenging. I knew that I wanted to use scene stamping and that I wanted the fold over to blend with the main part of the atc. Now, scene stamping isn't my greatest strength, but I figure that you don't improve if you don't try. Well, I got the scene stamped and colored, but it was just too flat. There was nothing to catch your attention. So I let it sit for awhile. I realized that it needed movement. I stamped a few deer and the couple walking. I think that helped liven up the scene.
