Our Heart Captures Memories
I have a box of atc sized backgrounds just filed away for use... some of these came are from left over pieces of playing that I cut to size and filed and some were given to me. I started with a background pulled from that file. I glued a piece of book page along the bottom. Stamped one of Dyan Reaveley's leafy vine images three times along the top (once just on the atc a little, then a little more, and then a lot more) with Archival Ink jet black, colored in the leaves and added highlights with a white pen. Glued a piece of burlap as shown. Die cut some leaves (Sizzix Branch w/Leaves thin die) from cardstock, added color - probably sprayed, dried them, added details with a black pen and highlights with a white pen, attached them as shown. Tied string and ribbon around the bottom. The butterfly is die cut from Wendy Vecchi's Clearly for Art. I glued a piece of book page to one side using Ranger's glue 'n seal matte. After it was dry, I tore of the excess book page along the edges. I have the butterfly so the paper is in the back... I inked the front with Alcohol ink also tapping the ink along the edges which caused it to bleed into the paper giving a darker edge... at first it was an accident but it looked very cool so I did it all around. The butterfly was heated and shaped, glued to the atc, and a piece of string folded and glued to the center make the body and antenni. Our heart captures memories are again words cut from my scraps of Tim's word stamp.

I love all the color and texture in this card and it still feels uncluttered and gets the message across with grace.

Dyan and Tim....what a combination of pure gorgeousness!!! I so love your texture!!!
Super nice! Dyan and Tim both taught in Norway this winter, and I can already see her style rubbing off a bit on some norwegian stampers. Cool!
Pretty ATC. I like all the details such as the use of white and black pens for accents.
This is wonderful! Maybe I should use the burlap I bought months ago ... lol
