Stay Curious ATC

Hello,

Here is an ATC I made for a recent Collage Swap in the Vera Lane Studio Facebook group. I used the cat digital stamp from the set Girl and Cat with Hats from Vera Lane Studio.

The background is made from 3 different scrap papers and I splattered some white Dylusions paint on them. 

I added some polka dot washi tape along the bottom.

I diecut 2 arrows from some book paper that I coloured with watercolours. 

I coloured both the tree and cat with Prismacolour markers and fussy cut them out. I added Glossy Accents to the dots on the tree and clear Wink of Stella to the cat's spots.

I edged around the entire ATC with black Archival Ink.

Thanks for having a look.

Never Give Up Tag

Hello,

Here is a tag I made using a digital stamp from the Backyard Monsters set and the wings are from the Wings for Things set from Vera Lane Studio.

I coloured his body with Prismacolour markers and his wings with Faber Castell watercolour pencils. I added Glossy Accents to his eyes and Wink of Stella onto the wings. 

The background is collaged with a bunch of different scrapbook paper. I added some gold heart vellum on the left side and a circle-punch circle with a star sticker to the right. 

I went around the entire thing with black Distress Ink and added a star ribbon to the top. 

I attached a star paper clip and a blue arrow sticker.

Here's a look at just the background:
