Beatles or Stones songs -Marion's Annual ATC swap

Well! I just cannot say enough good things about Marion Bockelmann's art - I really love what she does! So, when she announced on her blog that she was going to host her Annual Beatles songs (or Stones) ATC swap - I knew I would participate. The rules for this swap: base your ATCs on any Beatles or Rolling Stones songs (or lyrics) and send 3 ATCs to her in Germany before May 15th. I mixed it up and did some songs from each band, plus I made more than required. I wanted to give one to Marion for hosting and make an extra or two to so I could explore the theme. Here are the six ATCs I made, click on any of  them for more detail - Wild Horses:

These scans look large, but they are only 2.5" x 3.5"- 

Brown Sugar:

Here Comes the Sun-

The transparency images above and below are from ARTchix Studio, and the lyrics were printed on a transparency below so the background of watercolor crayons could show through.

Norwegian Wood:

                            

Paint it Black-

The black heart is polymer clay, made by Sharon Borsavage and the images of the Bird and the Arches transparency are from ARTchix Studio. I stamped the music notes on the transparency.

                        

Wild Horses 2 -

The background of this ATC is some digital art by a friend (thank you) and stamping the horses was done with StazOn ink on a transparency that was printed first with the lyrics on my inkjet printer.

I am keeping this one for myself!

I must say that Marion really made me think! This was a wonderful challenge, fun to do too, and I so look forward to my returns.
