It’s Monday…and the sun is shining so it can’t be all that bad, can it? Don’t forget to check out the ATS forum….tonight is the release of the new sets I posted the past few days!
Today I thought I’d share an ATC I made recently for a swap. I started with the word stamp and designed my ATC around that. I hoped that my ATC would look like a bed and I needed a pillow to go along with the theme. I didn’t have any pillow stamps though and I couldn’t find any pillow clip art that I liked so I drew the pillow by hand. Then I drew lines on the pillows with a liquid glue and applied white fun flock to look like corduroy material. It still needed something else so I decided that the little AMuse teddy bear would look great on there. I glittered his shirt with some Stickles to make him stand out.
The sheets on the bed were actually made into a little pocket. Then I stamped and attached the words to the pillow so they slip into the pocket when the pillow is in place. I have had this unmounted stamp with the words for several years now. I picked it up at the Creative Mode booth at a stamp convention. When I went to use it, I knew that the word corduroy was not spelled as it should be. But I figured there must be two ways to spell it?? It wasn’t until now that I actually looked it up on dictionary.com and realized that the company did indeed spell it incorrectly. They have already been swapped and I know that spelling can bug me, so I apologize to those who will receive this! I plan to cut the stamp apart and fix it somehow. It’s going on my to-do list! Despite the mis-spelling, I hope the recipients get a little chuckle from it. Have a great Monday!
