Have a strange of a birthday - ATC

-
Hello Everyone!  Today I did a lot of my DT cards... so won't be showing those to you... you will have to wait in the upcoming weeks.

But I also saw a challenge that I really really wanted to enter at Smeared and Smudge forum (saw this on Ike's post this morning)... and well I also wanted to enter the Wicked ATC challenge, I had not entered in the past week...

And I had gotten a few weeks back an awesome digi from Creepie Cute Stamps called Have a strange of a birthday!  So thought this was the PERFECT time to use it.

For this ATC I used some left over paper.  I used a bouncy used dryer sheet to make the flowers with my Rose petal die from Spellbinder and used Heidi swapp color shine mist in Tinsel.  I used some brads for the center that come from Eyelet outlet.  I used some flourish and bling from the dollar store.  The sentiment was cut using Label 19 from Spellbinder.  I used my CM tearing tool for the shiny paper.

Here's a closer look at the fabulous digi that I paper pieced with Halloween happens paper 4 from Create with TLC.  I fussy cut the image and used some foam to make it layered up.  That took forever... it's such a small size image lol why do I do that to myself...

The sentiment comes from Create with TLC also and I used black soot distress ink.
And here's a look from the side to show the way it's popped up.
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!!!!!!  

I'm entering this in the following challenges:
  1. Wicked wednesday atc - Any holiday or birthday
  2. Smeared and smudged - junk-funk-challenge-february - Use a dryer sheet
  3. Attitude with atcs - Favorite colors ( I really love the greys and black)
  4. Qkr stampede - Birthdays with a number
Hope you have liked it ;)  Looking forward to reading your comments.  Hope you had a wonderful Sunday.  I'm off to prepare my posts for tomorrow and comment on some of the lovely creations for the challenges that I'm a DT for.

Big hello to some of my new followers ;)))  I have 2 more.  woohooo

Hugs

Vicky

    Wow you are on a roll with those flowers. I gave all my dryer sheets to my daughter when she went to college since I don't use them anymore in my dryer not I wish I had a few after seeing what you do with them.

    So much fun and so inventive too. Have to admit to liking blacks and greys myself but the colours on the 'funky' guy jazz it up at bit. Happy as Punch that you joined us at ATCs with Attitude. Do keep playing along.

    So I have to ask - did the dryer sheet get that dirty from the dryer or was it that color to begin with? :D I love the idea of re-using items like that to cards and ATC - reduce-reuse! The ATC itself is absolutely fab, of course with the Create with TLC sentiment (love all of Paulette's stuff!). Thanks for sharing it with us at Wicked Wednesday. :D
