One of the things on the plan for Stephanie & Lauren's Art Camp 2024 was to make some ATCs to exchange with our friend Linda Brun.
I decided to combine that plan with themes from #collactober2024 collage challenge.
I started with Prompt 03 Red Balloon after I found the perfect red balloon image when I was going through Lauren's Richard Scarry books she has on her cutting book shelves.
I decided to make a torn paper background from designer paper, inspired by some of the art we saw at the New York Public Library Yesterday.
The sentiment was cut from another children's book on the cutting book shelves.
Next, I tacked prompt 07 - Bouquet. I started by water coloring a piece of watercolor paper and cutting it down to an ATC. Next I trimmed down some strips from the painted watercolor paper and wove them vertically & horizontally.
Next I layered on a thistle bouquet that I found in Lauren's college item box (so much fun shopping someone else's supplies) and finished with some sticker sentiments.
Final ATC was my take on prompt 12 - Call from the Void (I took a rather literal approach after I found the fun little pink phone sticker).
I started with my take on a technique I had saved on Instagram. I swapped the cardstock for designer paper and changed the number of circles in the grid to fit on my ATC.
The finishing elements were two dictionary definitions for the prompt.
