Some new ATCs
Elizabeth Cooper
I spent the entire day putting together a whole set of new furniture for my office/studio. I'll have pictures to share next week, once I have everything set up just the way I want it.

In the meantime, here's a quick, drive-by post showing off some new artist trading cards I've created. All of these were made for various swaps.


"See the World"
A mix of: paper, glitter, Stickles, and a chipboard embellishment


"Chill in the Air"
Created with this gorgeous image from The Graphics Fairy, using Stickles, Liquid Pearls and a Prima flower.


"Cute Bird"
Isn't he adorable? The bird is part of a Fiskars Christmas stamp set (the name of which escapes me at the moment). I stamped him on a die-cut from Jillibean Soup, colored him using watercolor markers, and added some other embellishments. I used Martha Stewart glitter markers to finish off the card.

Follow Your Bliss - ATC
Elizabeth Cooper
I take part in a lot of swaps. There's something about being given a particular theme and asked to create that brings out the best in my inner artist.

Today, I sat at my crafting desk with the intention of making an artist trading card for a swap. The theme was simple: glitter. I love glitter, and I knew I wanted to use it in a number of different ways.

So this was born:


Can I just tell you how much I love this ATC? The colors, the glitter, the charm, the ribbon... they all speak to me. I find the end result absolutely inspirational. So much so that I'm considering keeping it instead of sending it out into the world. That means I'd have to make a different ATC for the swap, but it would be worth it to keep this little beauty around a little while longer.
