Sandra<\/a> loves to make ATC’s, Artist Trading Cards, and wondered why don’t we have ATE’s, Artist Trading Eggs! She had lots of fun creating these small pieces of art using Tim Holtz Carrot Bunny<\/a>, Lucky Love<\/a> and Funky Nature<\/a> Die Sets. Every day this week she will be showcasing a new egg over on her blog<\/a> and on instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> created a tag this week using shades of green. The stamps come from the Simon Says Stamp Forest Scenery set <\/a>and the trees were embossed with Distress Embossing Glaze<\/a>. She used various Distress Inks<\/a> for the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> used her favorite color of Distress Green, Cracked Pistachio<\/a> along with a bunch of springy Distress Paint colors to create her tag. She added layers with the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Dotted<\/a> and Digits<\/a> and stencils. She completed her tag with some Paper Dolls<\/a>, Clippings<\/a> stickers and a Heart<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma<\/a> chose to embrace the green colour theme throughout her project and created dimensional four leaf clovers using the Sizzix Lucky Love 3D Impresslits Cut & Emboss Folder by Tim Holtz<\/a>, that cascade down a Size 8 Etcetera Tag<\/a>. She completed the tag with the ‘lucky’ plaque using the Bold Alphanumeric Thinlits dies<\/a> by Tim Holtz which she cut, and layered onto Tim Holtz Metallic Kraft Stash<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> used touches of green to decorate the front of a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Small Collection Folio<\/a>. She coloured a panel of White Yupo Paper<\/a> with Alcohol Inks, applied Distress Crackle Texture Paste<\/a> through Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Flourish Layering Stencil<\/a>, added Idea-ology Worn Wallpaper Scraps<\/a> and Entomology Collage Paper<\/a> and used Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Typewriter 3D Texture Fade<\/a> and Ideaology Small Talk Stickers<\/a> to create the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lols<\/a> made a slimline card using a fabulous new Tim Holtz Wacky Transport Die Set<\/a>, a variety of Distress Inks <\/a>and a LDRS Rainy Day Stencil. <\/a> For the sentiments she used Small Talk Sticker<\/a> and Label <\/a>Stickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macarena<\/a> made a steampunk card using Tim Holtz Sizzix Mechanical Bigz <\/a>and covering the gears with several waxes colors: Lucky Emerald<\/a>, Old Silver<\/a> and Firebird<\/a>. She composed the background by embossing Dapper<\/a>, Glitch 2<\/a> and Grunged<\/a> stamp sets. Her touch of green is Twisted Citron Oxide Ink<\/a> embossed with Simon Says Stamp Clear Powder<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maura<\/a> loves the color green and St. Patrick’s Day, so she made a duo of cards, using Art Impressions Sham-rock stamps<\/a>, Simon Says Stamp Green Leaf card stock,<\/a> and Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress Paint<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag with green background and decorated it using Prima Marketing Autumn Afternoon Pumpkin and Spice Flowers<\/a> and Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Keepsakes Ephemera<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
