Tim's birthday

Tim's birthday

I wasn't going to do a card to show because I am pretty intimidated by a lot of the work I've seen by members of ATT. WOW is all I can say.


I was in my mom's room (she passed away last July) and since she lived with us there have been no time restrictions on cleaning out her room. I was in there today doing a few things and came across some of her old astrology calendars. She was into astrology big time. So I tore out the picture for January/Capricorn and thought I would use that for my card. I guess you can call that "altered art".

I colored a piece of glossy cardstock with his alcohol inks and then stamped some words/phrases. I colored the ram a little with copic markers (it was and OLD calendar). I used the tattered florals die and cut some shrink plastic and did it in the melting pot. WOW he makes things look easy.

  1. Hello Janine,

    great idea to use the card as a starting point ! this is what they say about the "muse that hits you" :)

    the papers with the quotes are a bit too randomly put on the tag for me, but I like what you did with the flowers in the UTEE.

    greetings from Belgium

  4. Your card is beautiful. You should not let other intimidate you. Your art is one of a kind, just like everyone elses!It comes from your heart. That's what is most important.
