Two hearts

I've been thinking about Rubber Dance -challenge,

the colors are so yammy and beautiful,

but didn't see anything like that in my shelves

-until I did realize that I have paints, just like

the challenge colors.

So I started to make couple of ATC's ....

After paints, stamping, some DP's, embossing, rub-ones, enamel dots and 

chippies I had this wedding (?) card, go figure ....

Onnea is Finnish and means Congratulations.

Sweet Stamping has a embossing theme,

so I'll enter their challenge also.

Inspired by Pinterest, ATC

I don't really use a Pinterest, but inspired by the theme 

at WW, I hopped there and write the magic word: ATC

And magical world was what I found, gorgeous pieces 

one after another - I could spend hours there....

But this time I felt Inspired by this lady HERE,

Her ATC are so beautiful, mine got a little different edge...

Background is made with Dylusions paints and plastic frap,

then stamped with LCD ATC faces, ATC Grunge Set and Sun Goddess.

Little bit black DI on the edges and white gel pen on the eyes.

from Doctor Digi.

top hat is also a sticker.

Short post this time, off to do my spring work, LOL

Curious set of ATC's

Dream in Darkness have a great sponsor this month:

I was looking into her fab sheets and saw this:

And my mind strated wandering and wondering things like...

Why is it that women should be so slim 

but still have awesome boobs and behind...

When you are spreading your wings .. 

do others look at you hoping to see you fly or fall..

AND

When life gives you treats it sometimes reveals to be a trick ... and vice versa.

Hmmmm!

But, to some challenges I'd like to enter with my ATC's:

Aurora Wings - Vintage
