Fruity ATCs

Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's been a while since I made any ATCs so I decided to use the images from Power Poppy 'Cherries and Berries' set to make a few for their current challenge.

I have previously used the images together for a card, so I wanted to use them separately this time.

Thank you for stopping by today, I appreciate your kind comments.

2) "So Mush Love" - 'Amanita'

3) "Batty For You" - 'Frightful Flutterbees' - 'William's Bat' & 'Drusilla's Hanging Bat'

4. "The Best Hugs" - 'The Selkie' & 'Mermaid Rock'

5) "Sending Love" - 'WCMD Cutie 3'

I joined in with the Faery Ink Halloween ATC Swap this year, so I want to share my ATC's with you today. These were the first ATC's I made for a while (although I previously shared my Power Poppy ones which I made after, I had to wait to share these).

I've used all Faery Ink images, although we didn't need to - 'Ophelia Vamp Juice', 'Fable Zombie Witch' and 'Jack 'O' Lanterns' that were free in the Facebook Group.  I like to keep them CAS, focusing on the image.

Tiny Blooms

I seem to have fallen into a new chapter of my crafting after joining an ATC swap.  These are so quick and easy to make, I am not surprised they are addictive!
I actually made a few a while ago after deciding to use up my scraps of thick card, but then I put them aside and other things took over. The swap however, plus Power Poppy's latest challenge of 'Mini & Mighty' gave me a push to make some more (I will be sharing those from the swap once the recipient has received them). 
I've tried Distress Oxides for the first time on these ATCs, and used a different technique for each.
Lanterns - Distress Ink applied to acrylic block, spritzed and 'stamped' onto the card. Repeated a few times.
Roses - Distress Oxide applied directly onto the card, spritzed, repeated.
Tulips - Distress Oxide blended around the edges using a sponge, spritzed, repeated. 

Product list:

• White cardstock
• Distress Inks - Dried Marigold, Forest Moss & Stormy Sky
• Distress Oxides - Worn Lipstick & Fired Brick
• Sequins
• ProMarkers - 
• Lanterns - Pine, Leaf Green, Moss, Burnt Orange, Pumpkin, Amber, Gold & Canary
• Roses - Lush Green, Moss, Antique Pink, Sunkissed Pink, Pale Pink, Almond, Midnight, China Blue, Cobalt, Denim, Blue Pearl, Powder Blue, Warm Grey 1 & 2
• Tulips - Cool Grey 1-4, Holly, Forest Green, Bright Green, Shale, Crimson, Berry & Lipstick

I am entering my ATC's into the following challenges:

1. Power Poppy - Mini & Mighty
2. Creative Craft Cottage - #98 Use a Sentiment
