Moon Faces − ATCs for Scrap Africa Sketch 74

It's a new month and a new sketch challenge at Scrap Africa! I made a dreamy set of ATCs with a focus on these lovely vintage bottlecap images, or round inchies as they are also called. I think they are also moon faces, so that's how I named the set.



This is our sketch at Scrap Africa - you're most welcome to pop in and see what the other DT members did, and even better if you join yourself!



This month, we also have some very exciting news for all friends of Scrap Africa challenge. As of this month, the challenges will run for an entire month, so you will have lots of time to play along and prepare your entries. Double the time and double the fun!



I was also inspired by the space themed On the Milky Way challenge at ART-Bazarchik.



The background is made with stamping, mists and layered strips of leftover papers.



The Photo Faces collage sheet was bought from an Etsy shop called TinTeddy and it has altogether 48 different faces. I think I'll be using these a lot! I'm lucky to have a round inchie punch just the size, and I gave them a polished finishing with Glossy Accents glue.


1 (available for trade) and 2 (I'll keep this one that's gone scarfaced with the bubbles!)
Edit: These are all traded now, but I have other ideas for using these faces, so there will be more ATCs soon!


3 and 4 (both available) Edit: traded.

Thanks for taking a look and happy weekend everyone!

Black & White Chunky Pages

Here are some more chunky 4x4 pages created for a swap at ATCs for All, with the charming theme of Black and White!

The images in the first two cards are stamped and heat embossed on collaged backgrounds. The vintage lady's face stamp is from Viva Las VegaStamps and the dress stamp is from Hot Off the Press.





Tein taas näitä chunky-sivuja vaihtoon ATCs for All -sivustolla. Chunky-sivuista kerron tarkemmin aiemmassa postauksessa täällä! Aiheena oli tällä kertaa kiehtova mustavalkoinen.

Kahden ensimmäisen kortin kuvat on leimattu kohojauheilla kollaasitaustoille. Naiset kasvot on tehty Viva Las VegaStampsin leimasimella , mekkoleimasin on Hot Off the Pressin.


The vintage garden urn is a free printable image from the lovely Graphics Fairy. I really recommend checking out her great selection if you are ever in need of vintage clipart!



Vanhan puutarharuukun kuva on Graphics Fairylta, jolla on mahtava valikoima vanhoja kuvia kollaasintekijöille! Niitä saa tulostaa maksutta omaan käyttöön. Kannattaa käydä kurkkaamassa, jos tykkäät tehdä kollaaseja!

Mail Art With Quirky Torn Paper Faces

This week's theme at Take a Word is Mail Art. I'm really glad I didn't miss that, because I do quite a bit of mail art for trade at the ATCs for All community. There's an ongoing swap with new partners assigned for every month, so I can be sure to find a piece of art in my mailbox frequently!

I think these gals must be pirates that got a bit carried away by the jewellery they'd taken! I continue to be inspired by the idea of Quirky Torn Paper Faces, which was the theme of another ATCs for All swap earlier this year.



Take a Word -haasteessa viikon aihe on Mail Art. Useimmiten se tarkoittaa pieneksi taideteokseksi muokattua kirjekuorta tai postikorttia, joka on siis koristeltu päältäpäin kaikkien nähtäväksi. Joskus sanaa käytetään kyllä muistakin postitse vaihdeltavista askartelutuotoksista. Olen mukana ATCs for All -yhteisön jatkuvassa vaihdossa, jossa lähetetään yksi tällainen kirjekuori joka kuukausi uudelle vaihtokumppanille, joten omaankin postilaatikkoon tupsahtaa jotain kaunista säännöllisesti!

Olipa taas hauska tehdä näitä hullunkurisia kasvoja! Alkuperäinen idea on aiemmasta ATCs for All -vaihdosta, johon tehdyt korttini löytyvät täältä. Merirosvonaiset tässä ihastelevat korusaaliitaan ja nauttivat elämästään myrskyävällä merellä!

More ATCs with Punchinella

Here's more cards using punchinella as a stencil, made in the style of my earlier post Quirky Torn Paper Faces. Have a nice crafty Sunday!



Lisää punchinellaprinttiä ja hullunkurisia kasvoja

Tässä taas pari ATC-korttia, joissa on käytetty punchinellaa painosabluunana. Lisää hassuja kasvoja löytyy aiemmasta postauksestani. Aurinkoista sunnuntaita kaikille, tai tunnelmallista sadepäivää askartelun parissa!

Collage Obsession: Quirky Torn Paper Faces

Here's my take on this week's challenge, Faces, at Collage Obsession. The idea of Quirky Torn Paper Faces is from a fellow trader at ATCs for All, where she is hosting a swap on this theme. The faces are torn from book pages, maps etc. and the backgrounds are from my various experiments with mixed media.



Kummia kasvoja kirjansivuista

Hassunkuriset kasvot revityistä papereista ovat aiheena ATC-vaihdossa, johon osallistun ATCs for All -sivustolla. Taustoihin käytin erilaisia aiempia sekatekniikan kokeilujani. Kortit sopivat myös viikon Collage Obsession -haasteeseen, jonka aiheena oli Kasvot.
