owl & cherry ATC’s
I was playing around the past few days making these Artist Trading Cards. The small size is a lot of fun and a nice break from the normal A2 size card. I ordered some cherry Card Scents from All That Scraps and it arrived today- just in time to finish up my ATC’s. They smell so yummy now! The bottle of scented liquid is simply brushed onto the edge of your card. So easy! I started out wanting to make an all white card with only the cherries in color but then I pulled out the Summer Picnic papers and added the strip of red. I’m glad I changed it….I really like the red, black and white combo with a bit of green!
On the second ATC I used the rectangle Nestabilities and alcohol inks again. The owl is from an Inkadinkado set I picked up a while ago and hadn’t had a chance to use yet. It was stamped a second time on the glossy cardstock and popped up on dimensionals. And the sentiment is from the C.C. Designs owl set. I used some purple ink in the background with the blue but when I added more blue to make the “night sky” appearance a little darker, the purple became barely noticible. I added the words in purple for a little contrast.

Adorable! You have all the cool toys! Can’t wait to smell the cherry ATC - I do get to smell it, don’t I?
Wow, these are cool! I had no idea you could get card scents!
Both are totally adorable, Diane!!! (And I love those Card Scents!)
Card scents? What will they think of next? How cool! Both of these are really great ATCs. But didn’t they have an Owl Scent? (LOL!)
Oh Diane these are both so wonderful! I love the idea of adding a scent to the cherry one. And the background is beautiful on the owl ATC.
