These are probably the most quirky ATCs I have ever made! I was thinking about pomegranate and plum for a while before I got started making these and so, I collected things . . . you could say that these ATCs for the Colour Groupies are
very recycled! I used paint chip samples from the Hardware store as a base, along with color copies of a label from my new favorite
pomegranate yogurt, photos of my toenails painted a pom shade, a photo of a plum I was eating and a transparency print of something I found on the beach: a Sea Plume, wow. These ATCs are weird!

| For Frieda . . . I added a bit of embossing powder too that is very old, I guess I am recycling that too!! |
My swap-mates were very gracious receiving these strange ATCs - I told them, "
I had some ideas and played them out, but they are just not pretty per say, I'm warning you! Just me working on that color combo and some things I wanted to try. I hope you look at them for a minute and then I don't even care if you toss them!! I thought about doing them over, but then said to myself; I cannot like everything I make!"
-So there you have the saga of my April color combo for colour groupies!

How could you say they are not pretty. I like the quirkiness of them.
Lenna, you are a hoot! Yes, these ATC's are a bit funky by they are hilarious too! I'm sure the other gals loved them.
Love the new header for your blog. Wish I knew how to make my own header; but I am lucky to have just figured out how to construct a basic blog :))
Have a great weekend1
Thank you Kella & Joy for your comments... those ATCs are what they are!! ; 6 )
Joy, I would probably do well to learn photo shop elements, as I imagine it would make my banner making easier once i learned it! The only way I know how to do this is very rudimentary: inserting photos into a document and then copying and pasting that into MS Paint to add a border and turn it into a jpg! It is crazy but i know how to do it and it works!!
These are really funky ATCs! Doesn't always have to be "pretty" to be good!
very funky and cool - and kinda sexy!
Oh, you might think they are weird, Lenna, but we know they are wonderful and I hugely enjoyed looking at mine when it arrived and discovering all the different elements!
