No Card, It's An ATC!

***Edited 18/06/2015**

Firstly can I say Hello to my latest follower, Denise *Big wave* Nice to see you!

Todays post is an ATC! I had to share as I thought she was soooo cute! I smile everytime I see her!
Here she is!

I'm sure she was a free image but once again I can't for the life of me remember where I got her! If anyone can enlighten me I'd be most greatful so I can link back to her creator!

***I have finally found out where this little sweetie came from!!!***

Her name is Dierdre the flower fairy & you can find her here!

I coloured her with promarkers, ran round the edge with a promarker then a quickie glue pen & added some diamond sparkles. I puched the corners, matted her onto some green pearlised card which I had run through my Big Shot in a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I then added a bit of ribbon and a few heart shaped gems.

As a finishing touch, I added this ribbon rose which I thought was sweet!
(This was a RAK that I made for my friend Ali over at Ali's ATC Swap Stop. The theme this month is Magical/Fantasy & if you want to join in you still have time! ATCs are due in by the end of the month. Pop on over to her blog for details!)
I do hope you like her! Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Now, I had lots of ideas on this one, gemstones, glitter, liquid pearls, cut out paper shapes.........the list was endless but I decided to go with these little heart shape sequin type confetti as it mirrored the shape of the  bottom of the umbrella!
I coloured the image with????  Yep, my promarkers and I used the blender pen to give him that washed out look! Next, I simply cut the corners with a corner punch and matted onto some lightweight card. I did the same with two panels of Designer Paper, I thought the paper was a bit like a rainbow with all the colours! Sorry, I can't tell you what the paper is as it was part of the candy I won from Maria over at Inkymitts! If you haven't already done so, you should check out her awesome blog!
I do sooo love these candy giveaways! Thank you Maria, perhaps you can, once again, enlighten us on the origin of the paper!
I also added a bit of knotted ribbon from my recycled ribbon stash. (The stuff you cut off your clothes!)
Next I added the computer generated sentiment which I again matted onto the same card.

For some reason, not sure why! I wanted to make this cat talk with an accent! Lol!
The sentiment was attached with foam pads for dimension.

Finally I added the flower which was cut out from the same paper, using a Tim Holtz Alterations Bigz die on my Big Shot.
I inked the edges with distress inks, used a large embossing tool on the petals to give them dimesion, then layered & fixed with a brad.
I added a couple of fern leaves punched out with my new Woodware Punch and attached with a foam pad.
I hope you like him! Thanks for stopping by!
