Now that both of the ATCs I made for the Tombstone ATC swap have been delivered I can finally post them! I haven’t gotten to do much crafting lately, so it was a real joy to take a few hours here and there to get spooky.
I’ve only ever made a few ATCs, so I hope my interpretation of them and the theme worked for my partners. I perhaps went overboard in that I made each a special wrap/envelope and decorated the backs.
I used small punches that don’t cut through paper much heavier than printer paper, so I used markers to color both sides of white printer paper before punching. I used a 5-petal flower punch for one ATV and a five -pointed star punch for the other - each blossom is three layers glued in center. Then I used an embossing stylus (or two) on a piece of dense black foam (the kind that lines the packaging of some electronics) to curl them into cup shapes. Their stems are 3 strands of embroidery floss coated in Mod Podge.
These are incredible. Those flowers are so gorgeous. All the details are amazing. I know your partner had to be thrilled with these. Love the tone and colors too. You rocked this swap!
