What a great inspiration site! I love crate label art and I loved all of the ones on the site. It was hard to pick one, so I picked three. Bickford Apple Alden Pear Sunflower
I temporarily attached all 3 ATCs side by side to a piece of paper. After stamping and masking the images, I stamped a script using one end of a Kpad. I colored the images using markers and a blender. They were cut out and attached to a green layer I cut using a Spellbinders scallop edge square. I used my Nestie Resizing Technique to stretch the die to fit my image.
For the background of the ATCs, I stamped various butterfly, netting and swirl images then masked areas and sponged on bands of color. They're attached to slightly larger layers of red then to a green layer that was stamped tone on tone using some of the same images. It's attached to a 8.75 x 4.25 gold ochre card. A little bit of an old size, but it will fit inside a #10 business envelope. I used a 1/4 inch punch and a stylus to create some red and green faux brads and attached them in opposite corners.
Thank so much for looking! Close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
