ATC Blitz #4- The Trees

craftADDchick · April 20, 2020, 1:26am

Here are my 6 ATCs from the Weekend ATC Blitz #4..

This time, I included trees in all of my cards, and did them all as cut paper collage. Once I had my ideas sketched out, each card took about an hour or so to make. I used my latest masterboard as the background.

I think this is my favorite set so far!

These are great! I especially like how you edged the pieces with black.

cADDc! This is my favorite as well! I can’t believe you cut each little piece! I really like the black edging - great detail. Your color palette speaks to me.

The little vulture is my favorite! Epic Blitz!

These are fantastic! I’m also loving how everything is edged in black. Very dramatic!

Thank you! I edged them so they would have a little more depth. The paper pieces looked pretty flat until I edged them.

Thank you! I pulled out some cardstock and a bundle of paper scraps and tried to make the cards using the same colors throughout. I added in a blue for the waterfall, pink for the vulture head, and the purple for the (purple) mountains (majesty), but otherwise, I think the cards have the same colors. I love earth tones (and green!), so these cards are in a color palette I love, as well I really love the vulture, too! My sister claimed him already!

Thank you! I really like the technique and it really kicks it up a level.

Cutting the pieces was probably the easiest part. Feeding all of the little pieces through my Xyron was the trickiest part. I can’t find my Xyron X, so my sister will let me borrow hers for next week.

Thank you! I think this is my favorite set out of all of the ones that I have made. I’m already thinking ahead to next week. I have an idea for a theme, and might need to tailor my masterboard to suit it

I like the subtlety of the edging; I find it hard to give it that finishing touch without screaming LOOK, A BORDER. I’m quite partial to the Red Riding Hood one.

Thanks! I think that one’s my favorite, too.

This is my favourite set of yours as well-the paper painting is fabulous!!

Thank you! They really were fun to make, and I think I’ll be using this technique some more!
