One of the Challenges at the Hero Arts blog for January is to create some ATCs. While I admire those with ATC skills, it's something I haven't done much, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I recently won the Speach Bubble Challenge at Two Peas in a Bucket, so I used my winnings to buy some Pool colored Hero Arts Digital papers. Since that was one of the colors in the Hero Arts color challenge, I used the texty paper to digitally create my ATC background.
I also added some digital buttons from Hero Arts Flutterbies extras (I adjusted the color slightly to turn the orange to peach). I love how the digital buttons give the look of dimension, but keep the design flat.

Once my base was done, I imported it into a Word Document where I could print multiple copies of my ATC base on a single sheet of white cardstock.

I cut out the background & for the first one and then stamped the Silhouette Women in India Ink and added a sentiment from Live & Laugh on Wet Cement cardstock for my third color. I added a few pearls to accent the design.

For the second one I used the single Silhouette from the same set ... since she looked a bit lonely without her friends, I added a sentiment from All The Time to finish the design.
